My guess is you didn't finish either section? The GMAT is a pretty big commitment. I would choose a new test date about 3 months out, and start organizing your study time.

This 3-month plan from BTG is a great place to start: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2009/12/ ... -prep-plan

Start by gathering some solid review books. You don't have to buy everything in the article, but I'd start with these:

- OG 12th Edition (official guide)
- Kaplan Math Workbook (for content review)

Once you complete those, move on to:

- Powerscore CR
- MGMAT SC
- MGMAT Number Properties

You will need to take practice tests as you go to improve your pacing and stamina. But you will see that pacing will improve naturally once you have a good understanding of the content, and you have a good CR and RC strategy.

Take a practice test once a week starting week 3. Any private company's CATs are fine: Kaplan, MGMAT, Grockit, etc. Use them to work out your pacing and reinforce strategy. Don't worry too much about the scores, as they will not necessarily be representative of your actual final GMAT score. Just look for improvement. Review all practice CAT questions thoroughly and create an Error Log.

You will also need to download the GMATPrep software from mba.com. This contains 2 free practice CATs made by the test-makers. They are the most accurate way to predict your final GMAT score. Some students like to "save" them and take them in the last couple of weeks before their exam. If you do this, just make sure you leave enough time to go through them and review effectively.

Good luck to you!

I agree with vivian, from your scores i think you need little review in basics and ample to time to understand and practice.

Study from the best resource available also practicing with the reviewing topics can be helpful in order to understand the ques types.
Don't look for the incorrect things that you have done rather look for remedies....
