What was aggravating about the test was that whenever I did well in one part of the test, I won't do well on the rest of the exam. I also was bad with time management. Sometimes I'd finish with 30 minutes left in the verbal and the quantitative section. I'd have to slow down. I finally paced myself correctly on the last 2 practice tests.
FINAL SCORE
48 Q / 35 V /680
Everything I've worked on finally clicked on exam day.
