Scored 620(Q42, V34) on the GMAT yesterday. I realize that the only place where I faultered was the DS section. I was doing well in the PS questions but after the first 20 questions GMAT started throwing some difficult questions at me, mostly DS. I dont even know if the questions were really that tough coz during the last 15-10 questions i was really nervous and so was not able to perform well in quant. Still i mustered up all the courage when i started with the verbal section. Though i think i did well in the starting but i had to guess last five questions as i was running out of time. Strangely enough, i have been consistent with getting 12 questions wrong almost always in the test. In both the tests by GmatPrep, I had 12 questions wrong in verbal(on an average 3-4 in SC, 3-4 in RC and 4-6 wrong in CR) and i scored 34, which is the same i scored on the gmat. Since i am not very good in maths, at least i have always dreaded this subject. I want to improve my verbal score. But i am absolutely clueless as to how to improve my verbal score or should i approach it the other way round, i mean improve my quant.i feel if i had managed to get a 40 in verbal with a 42 in quant, i still stood a better position. Please help me..i want to take the test again after 20 days. Can you please suggest a strategy that can help me to get at least a 650-680 score?
