I took GMAT yesterday and got 480 (Q35,V21,IR3). I have been preparing using Kaplan Gmat resources for 2 months. I am feeling so shattered that I could not get a good score because I needed to submit this score to my grad school. I have one other and only chance to retake it with in 30 days and submit a score of 600. Please guide and help me how can I do it in best possible way. I have resource material of Veritas Prep and Kaplan as well as the books from Manhattan and Princeton. May be I need to change my strategy this time. All I did was that I kept solving Kaplan CATs after learning the content.
My Kaplan CATs were as follows:

CAT 1: 490
CAT 2: 580
CAT 3: 510
CAT 4: 510
CAT 5: 560
Hi saadsaab_19

I am afraid but I would not like to give a polite answer to make you happy instead i want to share with you my understanding about your scores and performance.

In my opinion the problem has less to do with your strategy and I find your conceptual weakness a greater deterrent leading to your lower score. Unless you work on your basics, I am almost confident that you would fin it IMPOSSIBLE to improve score. Since you have about 25 days left to take the test so It would be best that you target the correct weakness instead of sticking to the wrong cause of the score lower than your expectation.

In case you are willing to get some understanding as to where you are going wrong and don't hesitate in taking the expert advice then you may get in touch with us for a FREE DEMO SESSION on Quant as well as on Verbal.

I can guarantee that a little hardwork can improve your quant score from 35 to 42+ which will help your total GMAT score go up by about 70 marks and similarly you might want to work on Verbal a little to take your score from 21 to 28-30 improving your final GMAT score by about 50+ marks.

In case you are willing, feel free to get in touch. If you want to discuss in detail about your ability to deal with various concepts of Quant and Verbal, I will be happy to respond to each on of your query.
