Just finished the exam for the first time earlier today. Quant was like nothing I've seen before, yes the first few questions were a level or two above what was expected but then it basically just continued in the same vein. Some of the DS questions were just nuts.
I usually make a note of how many questions I found tough in an exam and that was the case for 19 out of the 31 in Quant and thankfully only 7 of 36 in Verbal, by which point I'd given up hope of applying to more than half the schools I had in mind for R2 starting next week. Also considered cancelling my score but haven't yet (might still) and had to guess on last 3/4 Quant questions. By the time I got to IR I could not give less of a **** and basically just clicked through half of that section randomly.
Not sure what to do but having gone from 610 cold to 710 mock in 140 hours of studying over 5.5 weeks while working full-time, accepting this is just hard.
Good luck to all of you, especially if you're doing it online.

Hello, zzzzard8. Sorry to hear of your frustrations with the test. I am curious to learn more about those 140 hours of preparation. What materials did you use? Were even the Hard questions (or their equivalent, say, 700-level) similar to what you saw on the exam? I do not want specifics that would run afoul of exam policies, but I am merely interested in how someone at a 700 level or so could feel blindsided on the day. (By the way, I understand about the IR section.)
You should hold out and see what kind of a score you earn. You never know. Someone last week said he felt sure he had bombed the Quant, and when his score came back, it fell perfectly in line with the upper end of where he had been scoring in practice.
I hope you post an update once you get a score. And I hope you will take this experience, whatever the outcome, and brush the dust off and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Good luck.
