Let me start my story.. I am one of that kind who lurks in the backgroud,browsing through all the posts on this forum .I am a non native speaker of english with an engineering backgroud. I am an average student who always cares less for marks and more for the content. But now the time has come to care for score and I wasn't able to reach my target of 700+. I gave my GMAT test yesterday and scored real bad - 600(Q45,V27) . I feel so much depressed and frustated. I have put all the hard work that is possible and still it's fruitless. Studying 10 hrs a day for 4 months proved to be worthless. I booked my slot for GMAT again which gives me around 1 month in my hands. Here are the materials that I used for my preparation:
Quant :
OG12 (Did it thrice)
Kaplan 800(Did it thrice)
Gmat old question papers
Questions in BTG forum.
Verbal:
Manhattan SC guide
Sahils notes
OG12
1000SC
Kaplan 800 verbal
Princeton review material
Power score CR bible
1000CR
I have done everthing mentioned above atleast thrice.
And here are my sample test scores :
manhattan test 1 : 640
Manhattan test2: 710
Manhattan test3: 600
Manhattan test4: 720
Manhattan test5: 690
Manhattan test 6: 610

If you see the above scores- there was a lot of flucuation in my test scores. By the end of my preparation, all my material is exhausted and I had nothing to do but just keep giving tests( I did one per day).
Now, I really dont seem to find a way... Can anyone of you try to explain me where I am going wrong ? Do I need to follow any different strategy or need to prepare from any different material ?
I am all ready to sacrifice anything for my dream score.. Kindly please help me!!
