I am at a loss and feeling ready to give up, I know its the wrong attitude to have but I don't know what to do from here. I took the GMAT once already and scored a Q42 but can't seem to do any better than this in practice tests. I usually understand the explanation once it is given, but seem to freeze when I first see a question and panic, even in practice questions, adding a time limit to this just makes it worse. This is pretty much across the board with all types of questions, fractions with variables or exponents, algebra, mixture or grouping word problems etc (except geometry) I have study guides and have been studying for weeks without any improvement and I'm beyond frustrated. I just signed up for the Knewton class.
The most frustrating thing is I score a 97% or higher in the verbal on every practice test (and the real GMAT I already took) so I know if I can just get 80% in math I would be able to get the 700 I'm looking for. I still have 8 weeks until I take the exam again. Any suggestions on how best to use these weeks or encouraging words? I would be more than willing to help out anyone stuggling with verbal

You want to go from a 690 to a 700? I don't think it would be worth the money or the time. But, to answer your question, do you understand the fundamental concepts? If so, then perhaps it's just nerves. You can do really well even if you get the first two questions wrong. Use the first couple of questions to get the nerves out of the system. Don't get me wrong, you don't want to intentionally miss the questions. Always ask yourself: what fundamental concept is being asked? GMAT will ask the same concepts over and over but in tricky ways. In your practice, get the questions right, obviously, but when you are stuck ask yourself which concept is being tested.
