Well, I took the first GMATPrep test for the first time last weekend and got a 520 
I still wasn't too discouraged because my timing was completely off. For the math section, I had 17 questions left with 12 minutes remaining and I ended up guessing "C" on 10 straight questions (9 of which I got wrong). I believe my scale score was (Q35 V24) something like that, can't remember the exact score.
I took the same test again because I knew I missed alot of questions and would probably see new problems. This time I got a 590 (Q39 V31). This is very discouraging. I am aiming for 700 and I thought I was pretty prepared for the Quant section. But my score obviously doesn't show that. Also, I am very discouraged with the English score.
I started studing at the beginning of March and spent about 1-2 hours a night studying math and about 3 hours each on Sat and Sun working mainly with OG11 and doing some problems on this forum. I clearly need a better study plan.
But my main dilemma right now is that I have the test scheduled for May 21st and have 2 weeks left. Obviously 700 at this point is out of the question. Would you recommend that I reschedule the test for the additional $50 and move it to July? Some people have told me to go in and take the test anyway just to get the experience, but at this point seems like a waste of money. Please help!!

My advice:
1. Reschedule
2. Plan to work on Verbal
3. For Quant, work on concepts and practice OG again while pacing yourself. Time each question and make sure you don't exceed some set time.
4. Buy the OG - quant review and verbal review

salr15,
I agree with Mishari on re-scheduling.
If you can afford timewise, then re-schedule.
Secondly, you may have realised that it takes some effort to get used to real GMAT questions (in this case, its proxy -GMATPrep). Work hard on your mistakes from GMATPrep. I recommend that you take each GMATPrep test at least 3 times. Also, using Club's search engine search for GMAT AND Prep, and go through all search results you are uncomfortable with. Furthermore, in Math section of GMATClub, Fig arranged questions according to type and difficulty.
Don't approach your preparation ad hoc and try to systematically address your weak points.
hope this helps

Don't give away your first attempt that easily.
. I actually really like the courses on this site, very helpful!! I need to spend some time on the Verbal courses, I definitely underestimated the GMAT verbal.
