What does test anxiety really look like on the GMAT? For many test takers, it does not look like a panic attack. Instead, it shows up as brain fog, rereading, negative comparisons, mental noise....

I completely bombed this 1st attempt, I struggled for a month and a half studying, on my PR, GMATPrep, I was doing ok, I just wanted a 550 or better. I was so tired during the exam, I guess I need more stamina and more studies. I didn't do good either on the Quant or Verbal.
On the way back home, wife got a speeding ticket, its was a terrible day. I booked another date in October 2008, I want to get into UCLA/USC/Berkely and I need to score at least 700 now in my second attempt. My wife is very supportive and I am very determined. Please guide me. What courses should I take online, what methodology I should use, how should I pace myself, I have a good 6 months more before my 2nd attempt. I did well in my undergrad, GPA 3.6, I am a Petroleum Engineer and think I am smart enough, but this GMAT kicked my butt.
Show me the way Please

Don't lose hope. You should be taking timed CAT tests, only then will you know what level you are scoring at. There is a lot of debate about the accuracy of these tests, but most people agree that the better ones are within +/- 100 pts. Once you are scoring 600+ on the CATs, you will be ready to take a chance at 700. Not before. If you are scoring 450 on CATs there is no logical reason to believe you can suddenly score 700 on a real test.

Well, don't lose heart. People have scored 700 plus after they were bombed in the first attempt.I think someone in the forum progressed from 400 to 700 . So yeah, dude , its not Rocket science 
. I am in the same boat as you.

Well what was your Q/V breakdown? Go through your study process. What sections hurt you the most? What were your practice scores?
It is possible to do, check some of the success story threads, however it won't be easy. The good news is you have a lot of room for improvement and for you to improve to a 550-600 probably will take you 1-2 months if you follow a good study plan, are committed and understand math. You probably need to learn a lot of the basics. The climb from 600 to 700, well that is probably the harder climb to make in my opinion.
