I'll keep my rant short :
I scored a 620 in my first GMAT attempt.Took a break and attempting the GMAT again in a month's time before the new IE section.
I have been studying for the last month and a half and have gone through all the quant basics.
My arch nemesis in the GMAT seems to be the quant section.No matter how well I understand the concepts,how many problems I get correct in my practice, I botch it all up during practice tests.
when I review my practice tests, I can solve the same problems correctly that I answered wrong during the test.
I don't know what it is about the test, my brain always seems to switch to the "dumb" mode during the test.If its not a test/timed,I can solve the same set of problems with high accuracy.
Quant score are really affecting me badly (34-39 range).I really need to improve it in a months time that I have.
I would appreciate any suggestions or advice from people who have experienced a similar situation.
Thanks in advance

Hi Zynga, I will express my views here:
First of all be cool while taking the test. only "Keeping cool" ensures 100% of one's output.
To get a grip on quant is quite possible in a month's time as GMAT tests only basic things and no great knowledge is required to crack it.
First get to know your strong and week areas of quant. Go for a topic wise approach. Know where you are faulting regularly. Concentrate on those topics and get a grip.
If time-management is a real concern for you in the test, try to practice calculations in mind. Most of the problems in GMAT can be solved by this method, which saves a lot of time.
I understood that you can solve the problems more accurately when there is no exam pressure. This indicates that you are not week in Math-fundas and letting your pressure down makes things much better.
All the best.

Thanks for the tips vsrsankar.
I think keeping your cool is the key to scoring well on the GMAT.
Also, I have noticed that if I dont get a problem right, it will affect the next question in term of time/accuracy.
hopefully a couple more practice tests should help calm down my nerves...easier said than done though
