Hi All,
Q33/V41 620 overall
I scored way below my practice tests on quant and am disappointed because I could have had a very nice score (high 600's) had I performed in line with my practice tests.
I am historically stronger on verbal but have always been able to notch strong grades in quant classes (did very well undergrad as an econ major). In addition, also seem to have some test stress issues. Honestly though, I'm not really sure what happened because I got a 6 essay, 5 IR, and a verbal score above my practice tests, all indicating I had a good day. However, during the quant section, I felt like I was lost and not comfortable. This was a very different feeling than my practice tests where I felt in control.
Timing has also been an issue, but I worked on that and made a lot of improvement in practice. I was rushing at the end a bit but not crazy.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to improve? Has anyone used private tutoring to iron out a specific problem? I'm lost here and would appreciate your thoughts!

I had a similar experience on my first official test. I scored significantly below my practice test scores. I ended up using private tutoring through veritas prep to improve my quant. On all of the other sections, I performed at or above my practice test performance, but quant was always way lower.
