Hi guys,
Just got done with my Official GMAT FE. And I don't know how to say this but I scored miserably (505)
Q79 V78 and DI68!
I still cant comprehend it. I didnt score this bad even in my first Mock by Magoosh, in fact the last mock I gave I had a solid 645.
I was consistently getting a Q84 to Q86 and DI78 to DI81 since very long, and know this felt like a gut punch. I practiced hard and in fact found the actual quant very easy compared to the Mocks, I don't know what to do as I feel clueless right now. I will be pushing myself and planning to give the next FE in 21 days. I know I was doing well and this score isn't a reflection of my prep.
I would love if some of you could drop some guidance as well as a prep plan.
Just Fyi I solved the OG book all questions and got an accuracy of around 90% for DS and Quant and around 80% for verbal. I feel maybe it was a time thing and I messed up there. Any time reduction tactics would be helpful.
Also I still do not get the quant percentile ( Q79?!?!?!?!?) it is like I'm living in my worst nightmare.!
Update:- Guys just got my scorecard. I don't know how surprisingly I did really bad at RC and Slowed down to an unimaginable level in DI. I think I blacked out somewhere in the middle, which even I didnt realise and got extra cautious. What surprises me the most is I got around 80% accuracy in all E,M and H questions of OG in RC in fact I was poor at critical reasoning. and I was never this bad in DI.

Ah that sucks 
I've given too many competitive exams to understand this pretty well. sometimes the timings & the stress just makes you a little off & things don't work out.
But i can help with this a little- when you do practice- try to do it after a really long day, train your mind to solve things & work a little better not just with a fresher mind but after a reallly long one where you don't feel like doing anything at all & do it with a timer. All questions with a timer.
Kind of helps pushing the boundaries.
Hope it helps even a little. Wish you the best for the next one!

Don’t be too hard on yourself — one FE score isn’t a true reflection of your prep. From your OG accuracy and mock scores, it’s clear you’re capable of much higher, so this looks more like a timing/execution issue than a knowledge gap. With disciplined timing practice and a sharper test-day strategy, that next score will align with your ability.
Keep pushing — 21 days is enough to turn this around.
