Q50, V27 overall 650 in GMAT

by RaunakJ181 Fri Nov 21, 2014 8:41 am

I have received an overall score of 650 in GMAT and my verbal section is particulalry very disappointing. I gave 1 GMAT prep and 3 MGMAT tests before the exam with an average score of 640. My verbal is not improving. What should i do?

I am looking to reattempt my exam in the next 2 months.

How did you study the first time around? What materials did you use to study and how did you actually go about studying and trying to improve?

Next, read these two articles:

Think about how what you've been doing does and doesn't match up with that and how you may need to change your approach accordingly.

Then, use the below to analyze your most recent MGMAT CATs (this should take you a minimum of 1 hour):

Based on all of that, figure out your strengths and weaknesses as well as any ideas you have for what you think you should do. Then come back here and tell us; we'll tell you whether we agree and advise you further. (Note: do share an analysis with us, not just the raw data. Part of getting better is developing your ability to analyze your results - figure out what they mean and what you think you should do about them!)
