I took the GMAT this morning and got 620 (M47 V28)

I fact, I don't know why I got a so low score. I was expecting around 660 - 680. I started to prepare in mid November and took Gprep twice, both time in November.

Gprep 1 640 Mid November
Gprep 2 670 End of November
Power Prep 1 650 Mid December
Gprep 1 (Again) 740 February (Many repeated questions)

Didnt have any problem with the timing and finished all questions on time. I have taken around 10 exams from SETs and was failing around 8 - 10 questions per exam.

In fact, yesterday, the day before Gday, I did 40 SC questions from Gprep cracked version and only failed 6 questions.

Any advice to improve my score?

Thanks

it's not such a bad score, and you will probably do better next time.
i would concentrate on verbal, as it is obviously this part of the test that is dragging you down.
have you looked through all the resources you can find on this forum, for example? loads of good materials!

620 is not a bad score. I say it's good for your first try. You just have to focus on the verbal part. I have the book "Verbal workout for the GMAT" by PR which has been a great help. My suggestion is to get a good verbal strategy book. I'm sure you'll be flying high net time!!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
