Just retook the GMAT and got a 650 Q50 V28. Very discouraged because I feel the exam got harder. After spending months of effort on Verbal I failed to increase it by even 1 point. I lost connection with most of my friends because I was too concentrated on exam. My girlfriend left me because I wasn't spending enough time with her. My parents lives far away from me. My eyesight got so bad I have to start wearing glasses now because of this exam. My careers had came to a dead end as well. I feel that besides this GMAT I have nothing. God, please give me some advice! I am aiming for a 680+ but running out of review materials.

Material that I used
Princeton Review
Kaplan/Kaplan 800
OG 10, 11, Math, Verbal
MGMAT SC
PS CR
CR1000, SC1000, RC1000

Relax, man. A 650 is a respectable score. The GMAT isn't the end-all and be-all... and unlike some people on this board seem to believe, not getting into Columbia or Harvard doesn't mean your career is over. Take a deep breath and go hang out with your friends.
