I have 8 years of experience in investment banking & asset mgmt.
I have handled tons of deals worth hundred of millions of dollars.
I have been managed 9 digits worth of capital & AUM.
Not to mention that I also have CFA.
Yet, my GMAT score is 580-540-590??????
It's ridiculous that I write a number of recommendation letters to my staff every year, sending them to Wharton, Booth, etc... but I, myself, keep seating here in my office study GMAT!
I hate GMAT, sooooooo much!

Hi MulanQ,
Note that the GMAT is not the definitive way of assessing your quant ability. There are a lot of tricky scenarios in GMAT math that -- once you spot them -- a lot of things will just click. Don't waste so much time studying at the office. Pay careful attention to the kinds of mistakes you are making and see if there are any patterns you can identify.
So you can definitely make it so that your score better reflects your ability. Keep your head up and be open to new approaches to math. Your test taking skills may be rusty -- but once you get guided in the right direction, you will be good to go.

Thanks Gmatpill, but Quant is not my issue here. My lowest Quant was 44 (when I took the test right after the day I close a 100 million US$ bond deal with a client, with an exhausted brain!) and highest was 49. I never score lower than Q45 in any prep test, nomatter if it was manhattan, kaplan, veritas, or princeton review.
Look at me overall and my Quant, you may already have a clue of my terrible Verbal! English in not my native, so under time-pressure, I dont really know what I'm reading. Nevertheless, I really think the verbal is easy if I understand the whole thing: when I translate the question into my native language, I "hardly" make wrong answer, especially the CR ones. I trully know what is my issue but have not found an effective solution to over come it. Prep course wont help in my case, trust me.
Oh well, native test taker, you are so lucky that the test is in your language. If you think it's hard to get 700+, it's 10x harder for test taker like myself!
