Second attempt 590

Dear Experts,

This is to tell you that I sat for the GMAT the second time on the 1st of August and received the same score of 590 as the first attempt. I'm really at a loss to find out what is it that's going wrong. I studied really hard this time. I read the Manhattan books, practiced the Official guide at least thrice. I sat for practice tests. The last mock test I gave was from Veritas and I scored 680. I found the Maths a little hard.
In the actual GMAT exam, I can remember that the second Quant sum was wrongly answered, then a parabola type coordinate geometry sum that I had no idea about. The coordinate geometry sum was probably the 25th sum. The rest of the section was more or less answered correctly with a few educated guesses.
In the verbal section, I was struggling a little with the CR questions. At the end the result came out as Q40 and V31
In the first GMAT I scored Q47 and V26.
I really cannot comprehend what is going wrong and what is it that needs to be set right. I'm adamant that I'll sit for the GMAT the third time. But may I please ask the experts for some form of advise?

Regards
Abhirup

Dear Abhirup1711,
I'm very sorry to hear about what must be a frustrating experience.

You seem to be stronger in math, so I am going to recommend this three-month study plan:

If you work through that faithfully, you will see significant improvement.

Also, it seems that you are scoring higher in practice than in the real exam. This may, in part, have to do with test-day anxiety. Here's a series of articles you may find helpful:
