I scored an abysmal 560(Q43 V23) on the GMAT prep test 2 with just two weeks left for my GMAT exam,which is very disappointing because I used to score upwards of 630(last taken two weeks back) on my other test preps(Veritas, MGMAT etc).The Prep 2 was my make or break attempt to decide if I should go ahead and take the GMAT or postpone it. The answer is quite obvious to me at this point,anyways that's that.
Right now I am very discouraged and wondering how should I go about with my prep?How much time do I give myself before giving the GMAT?
I have prepared for two months quite intensely and based on reviewing my current score and approach I feel most of my mistakes were silly and the fact that I was hyperventilating over the two questions I missed in quants while attempting verbal destroyed my verbal score,added to that I seem to be really bad at time management because of which I panic and kind of zone out after a point and all the strategies that I studied to tackle questions just go out the window and I start taking calculated guesses .I am still trying to figure out what am I doing wrong with my preparation. Please advise?:(

Hi irston,
To start, many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so it's likely that you just have not put in enough time and effort yet. 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:
1) What materials have you used?
2) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
3) What is your goal score?
4) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
6) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
