Hey Janvi, I’ve been exactly where you are. I went 675 → 645 → 665 before finally getting 715 on my fourth attempt, despite having a 695 mock avg(which was my goal) and 705-715 score 7 times. and all three of those first ones were nerves, not content.
Two things before the mock question.
Your DI 81 is the 88th percentile and your 685 is the 95th. Neither of those is a content problem. On my 715 attempt I walked out convinced I had bombed DI, I thought I’d guessed badly on 4-5 questions. It came back 86, the 99th percentile. How a section felt is the least reliable data you have.
And if you’re hitting 745-765 on official mocks, more mocks won’t teach you anything you don’t already know. I’d skip
Experts Global for this attempt. Not because they’re bad, but because a new provider scores on its own calibration, and a surprise 690 five days out will cost you more confidence than the practice buys you. If you want DI reps, filter GMAT Club’s DI questions to the exact subtopics that shook you and drill those instead.
What actually changed things for me was execution. In attempt 2 I refused to let go of question 2 in Quant, burned 8 minutes, and ran out of time for the last 11. In attempt 3 I over-corrected, rushed everything, and DI fell to 77. Anxiety pushes you into one of those two ditches, so the thing to rehearse is letting a question go at 2.5 minutes without it rattling you.
Roughly what I did in my final stretch:
Days 1-4:
error log only, no new material
Days 5-7: only my own notes, I didn’t touch pen and paper by this point
Days 8-9: nothing at all, I watched a movie at the theatre and meditated
Exam morning: 4 easy questions to warm up, then meditate again
Also lock your section order now and don’t change it on the day. And if there’s any commute stress, book a hotel near the centre. Mine was 50 metres away and that alone removed a whole category of panic.

PS: If you still wanna take another mock go for another go at official mock right away NOW, and score will be inflated because of repeat questions but that’s fine.
