First, I want to thank the community for all the insight you have provided.

I did not fare well in the test though. I knew my verbal was not great (i am a non-native speaker though living in the US for the past 15 years), but never expected to get this low in verbal. I found the verbal too tough on the actual test. Dont know what to do from this point on. Any ideas are appreciated.

Based on my prep, i had expected to score 30 - 32 in verbal, but on the real deal, i had issues with SC, RC and CR. I was unsure of the answers - so took more time on the SC, also got scared that i was not pacing myself well enough. RC was a particular pain point, i firmly believe it had a lot to do with the final score in my case.
