Given that you scored a 49 on quant for both the GMATPrep test and the actual exam, it seems like verbal improvement/consistency will be the key for you going forward. What resources have you used thus far?

Thank you guys for your reply. I can see that there is scope for improvement in Verbal.

I have used Manhattan Strategy Guides. I am using Official Guide for practice.

What else can I invest in?

Worry less about what else to invest in, and more about how you're using your resources. Have you worked through the majority of the questions in the Official Guide? If so, make sure you reviewed anything you struggled with and make sure you understand why you struggled. (And post any questions that still aren't clear here!) If you noted that you had difficulty with a given category of question, make sure you spend time practicing and mastering that category. When you review old practice tests, spend time considering where you might have improved. (Did you miss a parallel construction in a Sentence Correction question? Were you paying close attention to transition words in Reading Comprehension? etc.) Make notes of anything you might have done better. Internalize that list. Then take another practice test.

The one thing I would suggest, resource-wise, is to incorporate a bit more official material. In addition to the Official Guide and the GMATPrep practice tests, I'd advise you to work through this additional question bank and two official practice exams: https://www.mba.com/us/store/store-catal ... ction.aspx

Last, I'd encourage you to start a mindfulness meditation practice. There is interesting research about how mindfulness meditation can impact standardized test scores: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archi ... on/275564/

I encourage all of my students to try to sneak in at least four sessions a week. (This is what the subjects in the study did.) Here is my favorite guided meditation: https://www.last.fm/music/Jon+Kabat-Zinn ... Meditation
