All I wanted was 550, instead I got owned by the GMAT. I studied for about a 2 months and used OG and my test results indicated 500 - 550. During the test, I was thinking, this ain't bad, look at me ma, this kid is going to make it. Well, I ended up having 10 questions left for quant with about 5 minutes, which I ended up rushing and just randomly entered scores for the last 10. As soon as I got down to 5 minutes left, I wasn't focused and realized I had to guess. For the verbal, the same thing happened. I was like, this ain't bad but again, the last 6 minutes, I guess at the last 8 questions due to time constraint.
I was totally shocked at my score. I can't be this stupid. I think had I not guessed the last 10 for both math and verbal, maybe my score would have been a hundred points higher. I was pretty relaxed taking the test and the test center didn't really seem to be an issue. I also noticed I got some more difficult questions throughout the test which I thought, indicated I was doing all right. I ended up getting three reading passages, two of which were just unbearable to read and that probable effected my overall score as well.
All in all, this test is beatable if, you can learn to answer the questions timely so that you don't wind up having to guess the last 10 questions of each section like I did. I'm going to go back to OG and finish the second half of each section, which I didn't complete during my studying. Also, I'm going to practice more timed test and NOT leisurely take the test and pause on some of the questions that were more difficult.
Man was I embarrassed afterwards waiting to get the printout from the guy. Hope this helps to some and I will report to you guys after my second attempt in a month

That is good that you admitted that you got your ass kicked. Put more effort into it this time so you can do the kicking.
Why settle for 550? go for 750.
