from 540 to 640 and really want 670-690

Hi all!
I just came from my second GMAT exam and I scored 640. The first time I passed it in February and got 540 but I was ready for such score. But (!) I got 89 percentile in Verbal! I just totally screwed up Math. I'm Russian, so I'm not native speaker. Just the Verbal part is really easier for me..

This time I was preparing much harder for the Math. Took a private lessons, my teacher actually helped a lot, OG, Bellcurves, Manhattan books and tests, PrepGMAT and this forum and some additional ,aterial provided by my teacher.

I got 640 (Q44, 34) and is really dissapointed with Verbal part. I was totally sure that I'm doing well coz the tasks were really tough. I suggest that Imade several mistakes in a row in the end of test. If not - then I don't have any idea why it's so bad.

Still, the main issue for me is Math. Please advice what I could do for improving and fixing my current knowledge of Math. Because I'm still very unsure about it. It's really tough for me and I struggling with Math...

Also I noticed that while my Math is growing, my Verbal is going down.How I can stop this??))) I'm pretty sure that I understand the logic and get familiar with the main patterns. I really enjoy the Veral part) I'm sure that I can repeat my first score (or about it). Could you help me with that with "backimproving" of Verbal.

Now I want to sprint while I'm still trained enough and make my next exam in one month. So I get 30 days and my score should be improed by 30-50 points.

Thank you in advance,
Paolina
