Hi,
I want to share with you all my experience with the GMAT. I'm an European who lived more than three years in the US and with an Engineering background. Today I took it for the third time, and I failed once again!
- In my first attempt I scored 480(29%) - Q31(27%), V25(35%) (July 13th) --> Studied just for one month, and I wasn't prepared to take the test.
- In my second attempt I scored 580(57%) - Q42(59%), V28(48%) (October 7th) --> Studied for almost three months. I had trouble with the timing and had to skipped 5 questions on the quant and almost 8 on the verbal.
- In my third attempt I scored 640 (74%) - Q47(76%), V31(58%) (November 22nd) --> Everything went all right, finished both sections 5 minutes beforehand.
I have taken several GMAT Prep tests for the last two weeks with the following scores:
- 710 (Q48, V38) - November 12th
- 690 (Q48, V35) - November 13th
- 760 (Q49, V42) - November 19th
- 750 (Q50, V41) - November 20th
As you can see, my scores are way too low when compared with my prep scores. I'm having a lot of trouble raising my verbal score. I would like to know if you think it be a good idea to retake the test again.
I don't know how to prepare myself for another go on the GMAT. The prep tests are no good anymore, since I'm getting a lot of repeated questions. I have done all the problems on the 12th Edition Guide. What should I do in order to increase my score in the verbal section?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not suffering any test anxiety; I was way too calm before and during the test. By the end, right before clicking the final "NEXT" was a different story though...
