Hi, I took my Gmats today and totally BOMBED IT 530 (42q, 21v)
Planning to retake it in a month. also planning to buy some Mgmats books especially SC GUIDE since that is my weakness point in verbal.
I really don't understand how I got a 530. I took 3 Gmat prep tests from mba.com

Prep1 570 q40, 28 v
Prep 2 620 q43, 34 v
Prep 3 630 q43, 34 v

This is the lowest verbal score that i ever received!!! a 21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The schools I want to apply for has an avg gmat score of a 590, so I'm basically aiming for 600 plus. Any advice on how to improve 80 points or so in the next month?

I have studied with the following materials
OG 11th, + OG Math OG Verbal, Princeton crack the gmat.
I want to improve my math 4-5 points and verbal at lEAST to a 35..

The AWAs require an effort. You have to think hard about what you write. Now if you were used to giving 2.5 hour exams, then the addition of 1 hour at the begining will affect your performance, especially during the verbal section. You'll be tired and that can really affect your scores. Practise tests with the essays. Also, be careful about repeating GMATprep, your scores will be skewed. Consider other tests for practice.

Isn't it night time in new york? Get some sleep.

Cheers
