Please help.. Urgent !!

by androidfan » Mon Jun 25, 2012 1:07 pm
Hi,

I appeared for my GMAT on June 21st and scored a 650 (QA49, VA29). I'm really shattered by this score as I had really prepared well and was scoring between 690 and 740 in my practice tests:

GMAT Prep 1 - 690
MGMAT - 700
Veritas - 730
GMAT Prep 1 - 720 (Retake)
GMAT Prep 2 - 740 (2 days before GMAT)

Was expecting around 720 in actual GMAT :(

I am planning to take the GMAT again, in a month's time. But have no clue what to do as I have exhausted my tests. Was thinking of buying the MGMAT 6 tests pack but have read that MGMAT Quant is tough but Verbal is easy. I want to focus more on Verbal and therefore I'm confused which test should I take. Please advise.

I just want to take few difficult practice tests. As far as preparation is concerned, I don't think there was any lack. Can't figure out the reason for such a low score.

Please help on my future course of action.

Thanks.

Have you gone through all of the OG verbal problems? And if so, do you understand why each choice is right or wrong? Also, sentence correction is commonly viewed as the easiest way to quickly boost your verbal score. There are only a limited number of types of questions for SC (about 8 different types), so focus on mastering those areas and variations on those concepts.
