Hey guys,
I am really devastated. I 've been working on the GMAT for 4 weeks now (full-time 5-6h/day) and I started the whole thing with a prep test and a score of 480.
I worked through all MGMAT books, wrote summaries, formula sheets and learned all of that. I have done the first 120 PS problems, 90 DS problems, 90 SC problems, 30 CR, and 115 RC and reviewed all errors frequently..
My other mocks have been 530 - 560 - and today a 500. I don't know what to do anymore....I seriously thought I would be able to crack the 600 today.
Concerns:
Quant: Today was the first test WITH IR but IR did not really put me off, at least I did not recognize it.. Looking at the quant scores, I was at the 600-630 level consistently until question 22, got 7 wrong in a row and BAM there I was. To be precise at question 20 I was at 61% (=43p) and then got 13/17 wrong and was down at 26%. Though I did not really have timing issues... Isn't the fact that I was able to be at 61% after question 20 a good thing? I am totally confused...
Verbal: In all my testing, I have RC proficiency of over 85%, in the MGMAT tests I get at least 50 % wrong (especially with those 60-80lines text). Also, I worked through Powerscore CR, got all 30 first CR questions right in the OG, but I am not able to manage CR in the test... the same applies to SC. For SC I think I try to be faster than normal to be able to get through all RCs properly but in case of CR I just can't grasp all of the reasonings behind MGMAT questions..
I really don't know what to do anymore at the moment. Have I done too much and should I rest for 1 day ? I have the GMAT in 2 1/2 weeks and thought to be on a 650+ level at that point in time but I scored just little above my first score... Should I do less CATs (every three days so far)? Should I do more OG? Should I stop doing anything?
Urgently need help guys....

What mocks are you using? MGMAT tests are pretty tough at least the quant section if you get the first question correct it starts giving you 700-800 level questions. Its good for practice and for stamina but I wouldn't worry too much about them. Practice with official questions there are gmat prep sets available here For PS,DS,SC,CR etc ( almost 1000 questions)
Question pack 1 from mba.com for 25 dollars is good too. ( recommended)
You got to figure out your takt time how much time you take to get good accuracy. For example, someone might need 1:20 seconds for 80-90 percent accuracy and if he tries to finish questions in 1 min and accuracy drops to 40 percent so that isn't going to help. The same applies for all sections. The forums have expected time for SC,Cr,RC etc the same strategy won't work for everyone.

Hey! Considering that MGMAT Quant is tough, why have I been scoring 40-43p until question 23 and then ended up having 31? I did not have timing issues and I should 've met the "standard" until then, right?
Normally I don't have problems with timing. I mostly get along with 2mins/question and a little less for SC and CR sometimes.
Is it possible that I just had a bad day today?! I have got no clue...
