I wrote my GMAT yesterday and I have scored 370(Math-31,Verbal-11). I am not able to stop crying. I was preparing for the last 4 months. I am ashamed. I came to USA on December. My native language is not English. I am sure, I can do math well by practicing. Could you please advice me how to improve my verbal score. Is there a possibility to improve my verbal score with in a month? Please assist me.

From ur name I assume u are from India. First advice, do not retake in a month. If your target score is over 600 then spend some time on BTG forums, start posting doubts, go slow and target little areas instead to swashbuckling ur way out of the trouble. I understand ur condition as I have been in similar shoes few months back.(working hard for 3 months and then failing short of target). I agree that's the worst feeling in the world.

But a better score is achievable with perseverance, more importantly with smart study and the right approach. Read a few debriefs here and see how people chalk out plans to better scores after debacles.
Cheers !!

Quant 47-Striving for 50

Thanks for your advice. You are right. I am from India. I read few debriefs here. Still, I am confused. I am struggling to decide my study plan. I am new to this forum. Could you please advice me the step by step process which I need to take to improve my scores?
