Hello,
Just took the GMAT for the first time a week ago and scored a 690. Q44 V40.
Verbal is similar to what I have been getting during my official GMAT prep CATS but my quant took a nosedive and crushed my delicate heart.
GMAT PREP 1 NOV7 Q49 V40
GMAT PREP 2 NOV 14 Q48 V40
GMAT PREP 3 NOV 21 Q49 V38
GMAT PREP 4 NOV 27 Q49 V39
GMAT PREP 5 DEC 8 Q48 V38
GMAT PREP 6 DEC 17 Q50 V38
So I ended up doing just about the average on verbal but dropped significantly in quant.
I have been studying for about 3 months before that after work for about 2 hours a day. Did Magoosh and the OG as practice primarily.
I was feeling confident up to the end of verbal section which turned out pretty ok but I recall that I felt like the questions that I was getting in quant was harder than what I was used to as well as seeming to run out of time. I had to guess the last 4 questions in quant due to the time being short. Could that have really caused my quant score to drop that badly?
I am taking the gmat again in 7 days as I may not get a chance to do so again for a while due to work. So far since the test I have been working in the OG in subsections that I did horribly at but other than that I am lost as to what more I can do. I was trying to attach my ESR but I am relatively a new member so I don't have privileges yet.
Please help.

Hi danpark91 ...
Congratulation for 690 (Q44 V40). It is a strong score and could get you into your desired school. Through your mock scores, I can understand that you deserve to have >=720. There could be many reasons why your Quant score dropped? One of the reason could be the last 4 question, which you guessed were probably wrong. I think you were not performing the way you used to in mocks. Assuming 4 incorrect answers at the end will not drop your 4-5 Q score. Also, I feel that may be you made some silly mistakes in the earlier sections. Sometimes, GMAT tricks us which we realize later. Anyway, I would recommend you to consider every possibility in answering questions. No silly mistakes, keep calm, and skip if you think the questions is too hard on which you are going to waste a lot of time. I hope, you will get your desired score this time. All the best for your upcoming exam.

Hi danpark91,
Sorry to hear about your score.
Yes, the level of Quants in real exam is more than that of GMAT Prep mocks.
Also, i feel the reason for Q44 is not just your last 4 questions, you might have answered consecutive questions wrong in the exam.
It's important to solve higher level questions in Quants.
I'm attaching the link for GMAT Advanced level questions directory, Do solve them. It will definitely help you

Try solving few GMATCLUB Quant tests, they are a bit higher level than real exam, but will give you good practise.
Make sure you do the initial 10 questions and last 5/6 questions correct. If time constraint is there in Quants, you may guess few questions in between (but not Consecutive ones!!)
All the Best
