Hey,

At the end of the day it's just an exam. You have got a good score in your first attempt. Verbal scores are un predictable as they vary a lot if you answer few easy questions. It might just be the pressure you put on yourself proving counter productive. Take a chill pill. Take a break. Go for a vacation. Come back and analyse what went wrong. Even with 660, if you write killer essays, you can get into the school you want. DM me if you want any help.

I agree with prodizy. I'll be posting my story in a bit, perhaps some of the recommendations I put up will help. My first attempt: 600. Second attempt 32 days later: 710
