Hi,

I just took my GMAT exam first attempt, got an abysmal 570(Q48, V21)!! This was too low than my expectations. I was hoping at least in 600-660 zone. Below were my scores in mock tests -
1. GMATPREP I - 620
2. GMATPREP II - 640
3. KAPLAN - 690
4. MGMAT - 590
5. VERITAS - 660
6. PRINCETON - 650

Though quant was bit ok, I pretty much sucked in verbal. I had consistently scored in the range of 32-39 in verbal in mock tests. On the test, it was terrible - I was not getting any question at all may be because of anxiety & exhaustion. My primary weak areas were definitely RC & CR. I had prepared from OG13, Supplementary guides, SC Grail & MGMAT books.

After so much disappointment, I am planning to retake GMAT in July first week with new energy and confidence. I am targeting at least 700.

Any help / insights / suggestions will really help me with retake strategy, please help!! I really want to ace verbal this time!!
