Guys, I gave my GMAT exam today at test centre, and I got a 670. (Q50, V29) :(

I am planning to retake the test again after 16 days. My mocks were fairly good.

Mock 1 - 770 (Q50, V44)
Mock 2 - 750 (Q50, V41)
Mock 3 - 710 (Q50, V37)
Mock 4 - 760 (Q50, V43)
Mock 5 - 760 (Q50, V43)

I am not yet able to understand what could possibly go wrong. Any idea what should I focus on during these 15 days?

Very sorry to hear that you did not get the score you expected. Your quant score in test is same as in mocks, but there is huge dip in the verbal. I would suggest you to get ESR and analyze individual sections in verbal.

Yes, ananditaa4: You should obviously resume your Verbal preparation in earnest. You have to be honest with yourself in coming up with an answer for why you may have underperformed on the section. Did the questions look different from what you had practiced? Were the RC passages longer? Was some external factor (such as noise or the need to take a personal break) affecting your ability to concentrate? Were you practicing before under realistic testing conditions? No one but you can answer such questions. Whatever the answers may be, you should delve deeper into the areas of Verbal that make you most uncomfortable. If you find boldface CR questions daunting, for instance, then practice them until you start to gain the upper hand. Look back at those practice tests and reinforce what you had done correctly, but also take the time to appreciate how you could approach other questions differently.

Test-day nerves often get the better of students, even those who have reached into the 99th percentile in practice. (That is a ridiculously high Mock 1 score—if that was raw, then you may just need to learn to relax a bit more on test day.) But a combination of theory, practice, and review helps ease the mental burden you can feel on test day. Everyone has doubts, but if your approach to questions becomes second nature, then you will keep plowing through questions and go through the test on your terms, and your results will reflect the difference.

Bottom line: do not chase your earlier results. Let go of them instead. Focus on the task at hand, one question at a time. Diligence gets rewarded, and two weeks can provide you enough time to get yourself in tip-top shape—conceptually, psychologically—before your next effort.

Good luck.

- Andrew
