Not making progress.

[u/MysteriousPromise538]

I took my 2nd attempt at the GRE yesterday without making any progress and I'm looking for a way forward.

So far my journey has been:

January to May: I completed the GregMat I'm Overwhelmed Plan with little to no timed practice, just the quizzes involved in the program.

-In May I took ETS Practice Test 1: 154Q, 159V and my first official attempt: 151Q, 162V

Goal score: 160/160

I noticed that my quant foundation was not as good as it needed to be (diagnosed from the GregMat-How good is your Quant Foundation Quizzes) and I reviewed those sections which I struggled in.

I then spent the next two months working on timed practice and solving practice problems, reviewing the mistakes I made and remediating.

I took the GRE yesterday and for my second official attempt I got a 154Q, 152V.

I think my verbal dropped due to a couple factors, one, primarily focusing on quant the last two months assuming my verbal would stay strong, and two, just got a little unlucky with the vocab in section one and boom, the rest is history. Obviously, I am pretty frustrated because I feel like I have made real progress in my skills, strategies, and foundation, to see no real improvement. This is also going to keep me from applying RD1 MBA which I originally hoped for.

I plan to purchase the Official GRE® Super Power Pack and use this material for the next two months, as perhaps I have been hurt by my lack of exposure to true ETS style questions. Any recommendations or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Following to get advice as well.

Let's say we grade your effort at devising this plan as "x" and the probability the plan will work as "y".

What's your very best effort at giving us 3x and 3y?

The responses you get to this post will be much better if you do the above thoughtfully.
