So here i am just three hours after completing my GMAT test.
I was crusing in high gear until I saw my score :
610 (51Q,21V)
21V!!!!?!?!?!??! I glanced many times and thought I had misread the 41.
The link of my post last month, when I got disappointed first!

To be honest, I would have been disappointed with anything below 730, let alone this....
After another month just focusing on verbal.
I had anticipated a minimum of 40 for Verbal and have improved greatly so this is absolutely impossible.
After spending 5 months(almost completely for verbal), no way my verbal score keeps dropping....
The math went smoothly as I am pretty sure I assessed all the problems perfectly. Only had a negative power question that took about 5minutes. Finished in time as I normally pan out the time very evenly.
Verbal was a breeze in my opinion.
SC and CR , i have been nailing over 80% of them consistently.
Prepped them a whole lot so I was very confident.
SC, I know dangling modifiers, idioms, pronoun ambiguity acceptable if choices feature such, blah blah blah. 2-3 splits, parallel, Sv- agreement. yeahh you get the point
In RC, I did what most people would. In inferrences, author argument questions, I would look rephrases or contrapositives of premises/attributes. I had no tone,perspective, structure questions which I deem easy. Had a few other detail except questions.
Thought i was doing real well until i click the lower right a few times in a row....
Ending this hastily, I'm still not going to give up. I will still strive for the 99%ile. Was pretty confident I could have had it today. Oh well...
If you told me yesterday, I would get a 51Q, I would say that's a good possibility. If you told me yesterday that I would get a 21V, I would tell you not to drive and that's half of where I should be.
Perhaps will reschedule something for July.
Certainly need to devise a new strategy, any suggestions would be appreciated!
