My experience with GMAT so far has been a rollercoaster-like one.
About two months ago now, I've done the GMATPrep practice exam and scored a 560, with a measly score of Q44 V23.
Studied hard, picked up some of my Verbal skills and scheduled an exam on the 16th June, hoping to score my goal of 650+ (with a minimum of 600 to get admitted to my university). I was also finishing my last semester, so I had 5 other exams and several presentations on my case all the way during my preparation time. I admit I really felt at the end of my line two weeks prior to the exam, but I really wanted to have a go in order to apply for a scholarship in time.
I noticed that I've definitely not solved the majority of OG, again due to time constraints.
Test Day
I stumbled around on IR as well, which was something I had not had the time to prepare for either, but since it had no real weight on the end result, I let it go. I notice my Math questions getting way too easy and me having to skip some questions I felt I could not solve within any kind of decent time. I finish the test, crushed, with at least 10-15 mins to spare, having taken most of that time on my last question (without luck).
My score ended up being a pathetic 570, only a 10 point increase, and a laughable Quant score! Q31 V38.
Right after, I had to take my exams and today is the first day I start studying again, with two weeks' time until 17th, which is when I retake it once more.

Hi Beeofthemonth,
Your situation involves a number of 'variables', so I'm hoping that you can provide a bit more information:
1) What is the application deadline for this program? If you can't make this deadline, then what's the NEXT application deadline?
2) What is the score requirement for a scholarship?
3) Would you still want to attend this School if you did NOT have a scholarship?
A 570 is remarkably close to a 600, so you could easily hit that score (or higher) with just a bit more work. This assumes that you can properly define (and fix) the little mistakes that you're making right now. If you'd much rather have a 650+ score though, then you have to consider pushing back your Test Date so that you can put in more study time and learn some new tactics to raise your scores.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hey!
1) What is the application deadline for this program? If you can't make this deadline, then what's the NEXT application deadline?
The GMAT submission deadline is on 22.8. If I do not make the deadline, I can re-submit for the coming summer semester; I am assuming the deadline would be somewhere before March 2016.
2) What is the score requirement for a scholarship?
600+
3) Would you still want to attend this School if you did NOT have a scholarship?
I would! I would need to get a part-time job.
I keep writing down my weak areas and doing some daily problem solving to understand some of the basics of things like combinatorics, which I tend to struggle with. I'm also putting it down as my goal to finish the OG before my next GMAT.
