any suggestions what should i do? if some one suggests me of training institute, which institute?

Thank you,

What did you do in 3 days that your Verbal score went up from 22 to 35? Clearly, verbal is where the inconsistency is. I am wondering if GMAT Prep 2 that you took on Oct 11th was a retake and you got previously attempted questions? Such a huge gap in Verbal scores is quite astonishing.
Being defeated is often only a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

I taken gmat prep tests, only once.
For first test, I was little bit nervous. Still, I performed equally in both tests.
Yes, I performed equally. That has been my problem - inconsistency.
I require help to solve it.

Thank you,
Prithvi.
