urgent help needed. please advise

Hi

My name is noor. I am from India. I gave GMAT and scored dismal 660. I scored 50 in quant and 29 in verbal. However, I had studied a lot for verbal. I would have studied for 4-5 months and my entire time was devoted to verbal. I did OG 13 and OG 10. I also did Manhattan sc. I also did verbal review. I also practised 1000 sc and various other online forums. I did OGs twice, fr SC nly. In fact for every question, which I would not understand, I would come to this forum and understand the concept either taught by Ron, Stacey, or Tim. I had put in a lot of effort. In fact during last 15- 20 days, my sc accuracy was consistently 80 percent. In my first diagnostic test that I gave before
starting the prep, I had scored 27 in verbal. Further, in all my Manhattan mock tests my verbal score lingered around 34-37. Even my GMAT prep score was the same. This was my first attempt at GMAT. After so much hard work, I am feeling distraught with this verbal score. I am highly in confident and really do not know what to do. In fact, in the exam, I also got a lot of tough questions like evaluating the arguments. I thought that I was doing pretty well. But the marks were a shocker. I am really depressed now.

Should I retake GMAT, I don't even know where have I gone wrong.

hi,
this is the wrong folder for this question; this folder is for specific verbal questions, not questions about personal scores and/or study plans.

the correct folder for your thread is the "General GMAT Strategy Questions" folder (the first folder on the whole forum). please re-post this question there.
thanks.
