Hi,

I have taken GMAT on 14 Aug and scored only 530(44Q, 19V). Score is very low than my expectation (near 700).

I have no clue why I got this very low verbal score. While taking test, questions were not tough to me and easily I got answer for almost all questions except one difficult RC that was second RC in test. Time was not any problem for me. I completed within time comfortably.

Now I am planning to appear again as soon as(in mid DEC) so that I can apply for 2009 batch.

I need help about study strategies so that I can reach near 700.

I had studied from OG11, Kaplan and Manhattan (Verbal only).

Thanks for reply.

My Score details are:
Prep2: 580
Prep1: 540
Kaplan4:580
Kaplan3:570
Kaplan2:520
Kaplan1:540
Cambridge: 640
GMATTEST(800Score):620

My study resources were OG11(yellow), Kanplan and Manhattan and also I used lots of soft materials that I got from internet and also from this forum.

Since last year I had taken CAT(for IIM's India), so I was clear about basics of grammers and quanta. Without any study I gave the Kaplan1 test and I got 540. Then I started Manhattan, Kaplan and OG11(yellow) books. After 1 months study I start giving and reviewing test(socres are mentioned above). Till july I have completed the books and almost all the tests except Prep2. Prep2 I gave before a weak. In last month I again started OG11(revision) and aslo used this forum to get more and more questions and their reviews.
