im wonderin how you guys overcome the repulse of continuing the test? Actually i finished my test 45 or 50 minutes is by choosing all the c's after 12th question. well, it proves the first 10 questions are important. my verbal was 33
i canceled the score though. it looked awkward, ir7, q50, v33, 690
i scored awful in IR but it alone kinda cracked me down. the reading was so intensive--presumably everyone knows it. because IRs are quite the same in the prep, i have yet to practice more. it's still quite out of scope though--7, how many mistakes i made? only 12 questions, ****, 7 out 12
then i really drudged through the math. it actually relieved me coz the reading was way less intensive. then the verbal part totally cracked me down. I just lost. really lost.
i did all the prep at home, the feeling was really different. i feel tired and ground but didn't get lost. my brain had worked but failed totally and miserably at the test center.
but i really couldn't go on. i doubt i would get a better a score even though i finished it. my mind was totally blank. my last experience of such extensive test happened over 15 years ago for SAT, but that was totally different.
i barely could speak even 30 minutes after the test and still a bit under the weather--literally, like i got 5 mojito and my heart still throbbed a bit. my apple reading was quite like 90. it's basically like me within few hours after the ny marathon. actually it felt worse, way worse than running the marathon. you may feel very tired, worn out, exhausted even sharp pain in the stomach, but you feel spirited, you feel libido
i reappoint a test in a month, please guys, help me boost up at the test rather than go down again!!!!!!!!!

I am not an expert but don't see any harm in sharing my 2 cents.
You clearly know that it's stamina which is the causing all the problem. So only solution is to work on your stamina. I will be writing my second attempt by Feb/March 2016 and I also need to work on my stamina because I was there in your place before. I will be doing 2 things to ensure I do not commit same mistake twice.
1. I am going to read economist with normal pace for an hour for 2-3 weeks. After 2 weeks, I will increase my duration from 1 hour to 2 hours and I will continue doing so till I am able to read economist without any problem for 3 straight hours.
2. Clearly the other way is to take good number of mocks including AWA and IR.
