Hey guys,
Basically, I am not aiming too high on the GMAT (600+ is ideal). After taking my first GMAT Online exam 2 weeks ago, I suffered numerous technical errors that caused me to lose time and also basically have a mental breakdown during the exam and my score was a 530. Due to the circumstances, my score was canceled and I received a voucher to retake it, thinking that there is no way I can do worse than the score I got while crying through the verbal section and missing time in the math section.
Well, I did in fact do worse. Despite scoring 620-700 on multiple practice CAT's I got a 440 after I retook the GMAT today. I was honestly in shock, purely because I not only did worse than my 530, but I did almost 100 points worse. At this point, I do not know which direction to go in. I have been studying for 3 months using Manhatten Prep, GMAT Club, OG... I am just not sure what happened on this exam. I honestly have no idea where to go from here; if I should seek a private tutor (the reason I did not do that in the first place is because of financial issues) or just completely restart my prep.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Hi ukhskhsdvbsvjsdb.
Scoring so much lower than you usually do has to be puzzling to say the least. However, fortunately, preparing for the GMAT is in a way a pretty straighforward process of learning concepts and developing skills. So, you can certainly sort out what's going on and achieve your score goal.
To help you figure out what you can do to hit your score goal, I could use the answers to some questions.
Did anything unusual occur during this past test? Were you nervous, anxious, or distracted by something? Do you have any ideas regarding why you scored lower than usual?
You've been preparing for three months. Can you give some more detail on how you have prepared? Have you been working topic by topic? Do you practice timed or untimed? Have you prepared for both quant and verbal?
What practice tests did you use when you scored 620 to 700?
What were your section scores (quant and verbal) on your practice tests and on the real GMAT, if you know?

[Hi, I used the GMAT official website, Veritas Prep, Kaplan, etc. for my practice exams. I have been working through analyzing my mistakes after I took it previously and got a 530. During my 530 attempt, I think I was overly stressed, so I ended up having a mental breakdown during the exam. For my most recent attempt, I thought things were going rather smoothly, I did have to guess on a few questions of both Quant and Verbal (3-4), but I had to guess on over 10+ questions each section for my first attempt and still somehow did better. I guess I’m just discouraged and feel that I don’t know what direction to go in as I have exhausted so many practice questions and felt I had a very good understanding of the topics. Even on my first diagnostic practice exam before studying any material I got a 500, so I am more so just defeated with my score. I do not remember my section scores for the 530 because it was cancelled, but I believe for the 440 I got V27 and Q21.]
