Hello,
Here goes my story. I completed Knewton course and took the GMAT 10 days ago. I found the Knewton material useful and felt I was doing well through the course. I was always concerned about their CAT algorithm and read some similar experiences. I was really confident on getting something around my GmatPrep Tests (~650) but I unfortunately got 560! I definetely have to retake the test but I am not sure on what strategy to follow! As I said, I have completed all Knewton material and I am not sure if it is useful to go trough it again.
I have only ~ 7 weeks to retake the test since I have to focuss on my essays and rec. letters in Sept/Oct to apply in the first rounds around Nov.

I really appreciate your advice and experiences on similar cases.
Thanks!

Have you seen this thread:

Test day anxiety/test conditions can cause people to do much lower than his/her real potential. The GMAC also concedes if you take the test twice in a row, your score can vary by as much as 40 points.
Read the above thread, use some other free practice tests to evaluate where you need to improve, make a study plan and go for it.
