I first appeared for the GMAT in June 2008. I wasn't feeling too well during the test and ended up with a 690 (Q50 V34) on the first attempt. On my second attempt, I went through these forums and also picked up the Manhattan SC Guides along with the Aristotle Guide for CR. I did reasonably well on my 2 GMATPreps (730,720) and didn't score below 35 V in any of the Manhattan Tests either (this was the first time I was attempting these tests). On the actual test day, I messed up my Quant section and ended up with a paltry 47 but what really surprised me was the VA section. I thought I'd done the first few questions well but I ended up with a 31 V. This is the lowest I've scored across Mocks/Real exams in 10-11 attempts.

What course of action do people suggest now? I'd really like to apply with a 700+ score by December this year and I think I have the time for one last crack at this.
