I took all 6 mock exams:
Exam 1-51
Exam 2-50
Exam 3-50
Exam 4-51
Exam 5 -50
Exam 6-51
In the actual one I scored Q47. The questions were definitely harder than what I have been practicing in the mock so far. I have been finishing mock exams with 5-8 mins to spare. What should I do? Q47 is definitely way below my capability. I am extremely disappointed in myself. Does the country you write your test in make a difference (ex. China where a lot ppl score really well in Quant). Or am I just losing my mind?

Hi there,
Great work on the practice tests. The real GMAT and the Official GMAT practice exams are about as similar as tests can be. The difference between the Official test and the practice test scores wasn't the content or the difficulty level. That's for sure. Likely you were just a bit more stressed for the real deal. What should you do? Take it again! You've been crushing the practice tests. You're ready.
Does the country you write your test in make a difference (ex. China where a lot ppl score really well in Quant).? The country doesn't make a difference.
Hope that is helpful - good luck!

Hi KomalSg,
With those practice results, you clearly have strong Quant critical-thinking skills. The difference between your performance on Test Day and your practice performances could be due to a variety of different factors - and many of those factors are a measure of how realistically you were practicing (including if you took those CATs more than once or saw any of those Quant questions during your practice and before you took those CATs). Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) How did you score on the Official GMAT (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
Goals:
5) What is your goal score?
6) When are you planning to retake the GMAT?
7) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
8) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
