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 have noticed a pattern in the verbal section of my last three practice tests where I am missing 8-10 in a row. This is coming up somewhere around questions 15-22 and is a mixture of RC and SC. I am usually answering questions around the 80th % before this happens. I then drop to around 50th% and can bring it up to around 70%, thus I am stuck around a V34.
Given how peculiar this pattern is, i have to think there is way to break it and push my score closer to 40. Has anyone had any success breaking a pattern like this? Thank you in advance for any advice!

With the limited information that you have shared, it's tough to make sense of your problem. You'll have to analyse the entire mock test in depth, make careful and honest observations, and then devise a strategy to break the pattern. Anyway, what is the average time taken by you to solve the first few questions?

You have provided very limited information. Still, I would say- analyze the trend-which section are u getting wrong most of the time-what is the level of the question.All these pointers are essential and crucial to answer ur query
