Overall:
I do feel that the GMAT is very learnable. It doesn't really matter what one's natural math and English language abilities are, hard work and perseverance are what matter. With enough time and smart study methods, anyone can do well on this test.
I believe that this is one of the things that might help you get your confidence back. We have spent a lot of time preparing and we should just go there and do what we know we can do.

When I was taking the test, I thought to myself "This isn't going very well. I've definitely missed a lot of questions." The message here is that even if you don't think you're doing well, don't get dismayed, because you might be doing better than you think!
Also from the above-mentioned thread, I actually think this is just another trick of the GMAT to get us nervous. Even the guys with 770 have to cope with answering many questions wrong; the test works this way. Actually it seems that getting hard questions seems to be the way to a better score, even if you answer them wrong. Do not get dismayed by getting questions wrong.
(now if I just need to follow my own advice, right?
