Great score and debrief! :)

What kind of materials do you have for emailing? I am going to retake by August for a better 700+ score too.

wow !! congratulations...
really inspiring debrief
I got 530 too when I took the GMAT 2 weeks back Q 43,V 20
I have to work on my verbal a lot.
It would be gr8 if you could share some good verbal material.
I am taking my 2nd attempt in another 1.5 months

Could you tell me after how many months did you take the GMAT again for the 2nd time.
Just wanted to know if 1.5 months is sufficient time to take the second attempt.

It depends on how prepared you were the first time you took the GMAT...I suggest you study the concepts for as long as possible and avoid practice tests until you know all the concepts..
Know your weaknesses! If you don't you can't improve..Mine were time management and reading comprehension...English is not my first language and those passages are intimidating! I don't think I got any critical reasoning or sentence correction question wrong on the real test; that is what really helped my verbal score..Now I am focusing on reading Comprehension..My weakness!! Hope this helps brother..
