Gave the GMAT for the 2nd time this morning. Got a 610 Q48/V25. Really pathetic score. Have never ever got such a low score in a single mock I have written so far. My first attempt was a 620 Q47/V27.
Gave it after about 6 months and got a lower score that the previous time, really devastated. I prepared pretty much whatever had to be prepared, and only after 4 consistent 700+ scores in the MGMAT, I was confident of taking the GMAT again. And the last 2 months of prep was entirely dedicated to Verbal, the mocks were the only practice I did for quants, after so much effort I dont see any improvement, kind of frustrated me BIG TIME.
CR has been my strongpoint in Verbal and I have really improved my CR performance from my analysis of the 10+ mocks I have given over the past month. My SC and RC performance has been fluctuating every test and there wasn't a pattern I could identify the mistakes I made. I did go thro the Manhattan SC guide and Aristotle SC Grail thoroughly and could identify most common errors in SC. I am not much of an avid reader but definitely decent in Vocabs and I dont understand how I could get such a pathetic score. My verbal scores in the mocks have mostly been in the range of 35-40, though not great I was happy with a 700 score because that was the target I was working towards.
I quit my job now and am pretty much hopeless about chances of getting into a decent B school with this score, I came back home and the look of all the GMAT books pisses me off. I am not sure if I should write for the 3rd time. Also pretty much exhausted all the materials available. Mentally drained as well. Feeling so LOW and terribly frustrated with myself.
