Shocked. Stunned. Sad. 760 to 570 on real GMAT

I took the GMAT this morning and I was in for a rude awakening.
After I saw my score on the screen, I was stunned. I scored 570 (42Q, 27V)... I cancelled my score immediately.
I can't believe it. I've spent so many months preparing. I went through all 700+ quant questions mapped out by Dabral on GMATQuantum and can answer 85% with utmost confidence.
I've taken all the GMAT Prep 2.0 tests and also the GMAT Exam Pack 1 tests. I've been consistently scoring 740, 760, 750, 770 on those tests. I know these scores are biased because I've seen some of the questions before, so I was expecting maybe a 20-40 point drop. But no way was I expecting a 570 this morning.
On the quant section, I think I just got an unfortunate draw of tough questions that made me uncomfortable. I thought I had seen all the major concepts and feel from going throug Dabral's quant archive, but I guess not. There were some questions where I felt some hesitancy on execution and had to make some educated guesses.
However, I was shocked at my verbal score. I thought I was doing quite well, and to see a 27 at the end was just demoralizing. I could not believe it.
Although I worked on timing, I couldn't believe how time flew. I was expecting to be at 60-65 minutes remaining by question 10 on quant. I was at 54 minutes remaining after 10 questions.
Man...what a clusterf*ck today. I must had just had a bad day.
What do I do now? I'm extremely, extremely frustrated.
