Focus on the answer explanations for the verbal section. Read what is right and wrong with certain choices... Find the patterns in these explanations. Often times people focus on information that is too granular - there are big topics that are tested frequently.

i received a private message about this thread.
unfortunately, it's impossible for me to give you any meaningful advice here, because you haven't provided anything that could be the basis for such advice.
in other words, you've just given a bunch of numbers and stated "i did problems x, y, and z".
in and of itself, this information isn't terribly helpful. what did you actually do with the problems? did you just go through them, solve them, and move on (not particularly useful), or did you go back and do a decently in-depth review (very useful)?
the following thread contains some suggestions for what you can do, particularly with verbal problems:

take a look through that.
good luck.

Not sure if you were like me, but I experienced that while the MGMAT is very good for testing knowledge/concepts, it did not accurately reflect the GMAT exam. I also underperformed when compared to the MGMAT practice exams my first time. If you decide to retake, I recommend taking the MGMAT exams again, but focus mainly on the GMATPrep exams towards the week before your actual exam.
Study concepts missed in the GMATPrep worked better for me than the MGMAT as the questions tend to be different.
