Hi there...
A little bit of history. I sat for my first GMAT and got a 580 (Q45, V25). I expected that score because I was not prepared for it at all. I underestimated the gmat and just practised questions without going through the fundamentals. (In fact, I took the GMAT with just slightly less than 2 months of preparation!)
In December, I spent the entire month learning the fundamentals of Verbal and Quantitative. I got to admit that I didn't practise much so at the next mocks, I got 580 again (Q44, V26). For the next 2 weeks in January, I decided to review content per topic and start practising questions with ascending level of difficulty. I just took the mocks and I got 560 (Q39, V28). I am happy that my verbal has improved. It seems that the strategy worked. And I will keep up with this.
However, I am worried about my Quant. I reviewed my Quant and I realised that I could do 9 out of the 15 questions I got wrong. I felt that my mind was a blank and I am suspecting that I could be experiencing a mind block during the exam. I might be feeling fearful and intimidated by the Gmat. After all, I have been trying very hard at it.
My Gmat is scheduled for the end of February. And all I need is 650. Any advice on how I can overcome my anxieties and to get a higher Quant score? Thanks so much for your help! It has been a long long journey.

Hi,
Planned deep breathing exercise, at least 2 or 3, for 5 seconds can help you to remain calm & focussed before entering the room & during the test. It should also be during the test after reaching half way of the each section or whenever you feel stressed.

First and foremost thing to do would be stay calm!, not all the things are in our hand. If nervousness or stress is the reason for your prep results not coming as you want, you need to relax and stay worry-free. Sit idle for few minutes and ask yourself few if-else questions and try to develop a positive outlook outta it. Remember there's never a last attempt/chance to what you want to achieve in life. Be positive.
All the best!
