I just got my first test result back. I got 550, 44 Quan, 22 Verbal. I can't handle it. I had studied for few months and did all the questions from OG 12th edition, OG Quan and OG Verbal. I also reviewed MGMAT books and did their CATS. I practiced by using the GMAT PREP software also. I just don't know how come I get 550!!! My aim score is arrange from 650 to 740!
From my practice Test, I got a lot of varied scores, but the score is higher each time after I took one. I think the score might be inflated, since I took so many times. But I can't believe i got 550, I just don't know why I got 22 on my verbal. Can anyone help? How Can I prepare for this month, I am going to take it again next early month. Is there a way I can improve my verbal to around 41-44 range.

Hi endlesslove3344,

22 marks in verbal is very low score.Your quant score is fine and you need little improvement in that section.

What do you think is a challenge for you in verbal part ? RC,CR or SC?

In my first attempt I also got same marks. You can try e-gmat course at www.e-gmat.com.Its best thing is that you start from basics of verbal and land in expert.

Its totally online and chapters are in form of slides which help you understand in a better way.

Hope it will help you.

What was your hit rate in OG? What was your GMATPrep score? Did you manage timing well?

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
