Hi Varun,

Since these 3 scores are remarkably close, it's clear that you handled each of these attempts in the same general way. This implies that you've developed a number of 'bad habits' during your studies, so part of your training for this next attempt has to focus on getting you out of those bad habits and into some 'good habits.'

1) What resources did you use during each of your study periods?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT next?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Hi dubsmagic,

I'm also curious to know how you've been preparing specifically for your AWA. I'd be more than happy to help if this has been a problem area for you, but am also eager to hear more about your study plan to identify what exactly about your verbal might be holding you back.

Best,
Rich
