I just finished my first official gmat and the provisional score was to my surprise a score of 460.
I did four mock exams within four months. My first one was in January and I scored without any previous experience a 500 (Q33,V26).
My second one was in March with 540 (Q34,V30).
Third one in April: 570 (Q39, V29)
And my last one in May: 600 (Q44,V30)
To my surprise, my score today was a 460. Even worse than I would have theoretically scored without any exercise.
I had at no time in the exam the feeling that I was performing bad. I did manage to calculate almost every single task in the quant part.
While I did have a feeling that I rushed a bit more through verbal than usual. I did not expect to get a Q21 in Verbal today neither a Q31 in quant.
What could have gone wrong. How should I proceed?
Most unis application deadline closes soon, and this was kind of my last chance to apply to most of them.
A score of 460 would, as far as I know, hinder my application in every single way possible.

Hi BossToGo,
I'm sorry to hear that Test Day didn't go as well as planned. When these types of score drops occur, the two likely "causes" involve either something that was unrealistic during practice or something that was surprising (or not accounted for) on Test Day. Before we discuss any of those potential issues though, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
