Hi Guys,
First of all, I want to thank everybody on this forum for helping out during my prep phase and for providing valuable error logs and material.
I took my GMAT yesterday and I scored underwhelming 680 (Q 45, V 38) which is much lower than my expected score.
I am non native and studied in Hindi Medium school till my 10th class. I graduated from a tier 2 engineering college in India in 2015 (VIT University ) and have worked in a consulting firm and a healthcare start up post graduation.
I am aiming for top 5 public policy courses or MBA / MPP dual degree courses.
I did not prepare much in last few months and only started serious prep last month when I took a week off from work. I scored 650 in my diagnostic GMAT Prep mock. After that I purchased Veritas test series and scored 630 (Q 44, V 33), 670 (Q 45, V 37), 630 (Q 47, V 30) and 710 (Q50, V 37) in those tests. In Manhattan I scored 660 (Q 44, V 36). 2 days before the test, I took my left over GMAT Prep Mock and scored 750 ( Q50, V 42) which kinda put extra pressure on me.
However I struggled with finishing the sections on time in most of the mocks even though I tried multiple strategies to stay on track.
Night before test, I couldn't sleep properly due to bit of anxiety and also bloody mosquitoes and was slightly tired but wouldn't blame that on my disastrous performance.
During test, I ran out of time in both the sections and my accuracy level in last quarter of verbal was only 25% whereas it was 88% , 71% and 71% in first 3 quarters.
In quant, I performed even worse and ran out of time even earlier and guessed 8 question towards the end. In first 2 quarters , my accuracy was 86% but in quarter 3 it was only 57% and in quarter 4 it was only 14 %. I spent much more time in earlier questions even though I tried to be on track.
I am very disappointed with my score and I am planning to retake the test next month but I want to work on my timing issue and identify any other underlying issues properly before I start the prep again so that I have the right tools and strategy. I would really appreciate any help that you guys can provide.
Thanks,
Abhinav

you should put your time in evenly spaced in every quarter.
It seems that there is a huge difference between your Mprep mock and GMATprep mock. So i think you should take a GMATprep mock again and take decision about the expertness on both quant and verbal part.
I think, you scored bad (compare to your expectation) because of your last 8 question that you guessed. This guessing dramatically decreased your score.

Please upload the pictures of your mock test in order of the time given
Now AS for the whole 750 to 680 scenario, if it makes you feel any better, even I scored a 760 and got a 700 on my second attempt.
Please let me know in PM if you seek help. I can help you
