Missed your post - sorry to hear about your experience - definitely a tough score to get.
What were some of the practice scores you got? You mention GMAT Prep - can you give a full score?
Also, see this thread for some ideas about retake:

Thanks for answering!
You always give great ideas.
My practice tests was not going so good. I made one 590 (45Q and 27V, I guess).
The other attempts were something from 42 to 46 in Q and from 14 to 17 in V. Q never lower than 42, even when I did not know anything about GMAT.
I knew I was not like "READY" for the test, but 33/23 were still quite disappointing, regarding that I completed all exercises of
OG11 & 12,
OG verbal 1st,
Kaplan Premier, mostly all of OG quantitative 1st, and some of
Kaplan 800.
I started to review grammar rules in
Manhattan Sentence Correction Guide and I realized that I forgot almost everything about modifiers (maybe because there are about one and a half month I finished doing the book's exercises). I guess now I am with the memory refreshed with SC rules.
I forgot to say: I take too much time answering questions.
In both SC and CR (especially in CR), I take more than a minute, just to understand what is written. Thus, I take more than two minutes in these questions.
It is awkward, because when I start reading a book (I am reading now The Great Gatsby, as suggested), I read pretty fast now... understanding almost everything.
Did you guys face something like that in the beginning?
