Remember:

The GMAT is designed to stratify people. Your ability is one thing, and ability to function under pressure and fairly constricted time is something else.

I would never recommend studying 7-8 hours per day nor taking more than one practice test per day. It appears you burned out in prep and this in turn caused you to burn out on the real thing.

My advice:

Take your real exam score last practice test as a benchmark. See how close or far apart they are. Begin tracking through an error log to figure out the "WHY" aspect of running into timing issues. Also, read out timing strategy thread to make sure you are always on pace to finish the test:

Best of luck

I have settled wit NUS part-time.I think I made the right decision and will try to make most out of it.All the best for others.I think I nailed the essays and my profile with 4 countries working experience helped.
Tip: NUS essays are very tricky as there is a word limit.Never ever exceed the limit.

I have to second mohater for the tenth time; Gmat usually reacts negatively to the excessive "need to score high" , to long hours of study.

Cheer up, man. It was just a hard learned lesson and you are nowhere near the bottom.

Give yourself another chance.
