Just took my GMAT today and got a score of 610. This is my lowest score ever, even lower than my diagnostics. This is how i scored in the practise tests:

1. KAPLAN CAT 1: 620
2. kaplan CAT 2 : 630
3. KAPLAN CAT 3: 650
4. KAPLAN CAT 4: 690
5. GMAT Prep 1. 680
6. GMAT Prep 2: 680
7. GMAT Prep 3: 690
8. GMAT Prep 4: 700.

I am really surprised my math was only 55 percantile when i ended the test doing probability combined with geometry kind of questions. The test didnt seem adaptive at all. If it thought i was in 55 percantile i should have been getting easy ones towards the end.
Is it possible to get the test re-graded or looked at ? I am really surprised and at this moment don't know how to change my preparation.

I'm sorry about your score. It's obviously really disappointing to score below your diagnostic. You should definitely go for a retest.

Probably and geometry questions aren't necessarily easy or hard. If it's a 3-dimensional object of a weird shape sure, but a square inside a square, not really. Beyond that, it's pretty much impossible for the lay person to guess what level of difficulty should be assigned to a question. You obviously missed a good number in a row that skewed your score down.
