I'm in a seemingly unique situation.
After a 630 score on the GMAT, I passionately went
for the kill.
I blew away even hard questions I couldn't solve
earlier after learning new strategies from
gmatprepnow.
then it happened.
My brain lost concentration and I couldn't
assimilate.
I gave myself a three day off.
it didn't help.
I returned with a gmatclub test which I couldn't
finish.
Easy questions seemed difficult to me and I began
to forget stuffs I learnt and practiced in December
as though I learnt them 3 years ago.
It's a week plus now and yet I can't help myself out
of this.
If I rest and start a workout, it starts well then on
the third or fifth question I lose concentration.
pls what is wrong with me?
Can I get a way out of this quickly?
It's pains my heart wasting precious hours and
days.
does this nightmare have anything to do with the GMAT?
I've never experienced this in my entire life.
I seriously need help.

Hi Nez,
Sorry to hear about your difficulties.
I have 1 suggestion: try to stop describing yourself as having this problem. The more you identify with this mental block, the more it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Your situation is analogous to a writer suffering from writer's block. The more the writer dwells on the issue (e.g., telling everyone he/she has writer's block), the harder it is to write.
Try changing your mindset.
As part of adopting the proper mindset/attitude, you may be interested in reading the following articles:

Cheers,
Brent

Wao
I just laughed real hearty laugh.
Something tells me I'm up soon.
Thanks Brent.
I'll keep rereading the volleyball girls while spreading my legs wide and laughing.
This is the funniest thing in the world.
