I am stressing out BIG time about the GMAT. I really want to make first rounds but have only been studying for about 3.5 weeks. I am taking my first GMAT exam in less than 2 weeks.
I started out pretty ok for the first few practice exams:
MGMAT = 600
MGMAT = 660
GMAT Prep = 690
However, I my quant scores are starting to decline. I have been taking the quant sections only since I have so little time before my exam and verbal is my strongest area. My quant scores subsequent to the 3 full length tests noted above have been:
MGMAT = 45
GMAT Prep = 41
MGMAT = 42
I find my mind is in a "frozen" state when I approach the exams now. I am really starting to panic.
Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated. I am terrified because it seems like I am getting worse.

JovanneMBA, now I see that some people start to panic about 1st round 
Hey, stop it, IMO quantitative part is the easiest one of gmat. Just avoid silly misktakes and you'll got Q49-51.

barfer, don't assume that because quant is easy for you, that it's easy for everyone. Everyone has his own challenges, weaknesses, strengths and abilities.
Jovanne, I do believe you are needlessly stressing yourself out. It's very common for your scores to fluctuate as you prep. Take a break from timed tests and work on untimed practice questions with the Official Guide.
Also, be aware that Manhattan GMAT's tests are harder than the real test, esp for quant. They themselves admit that some of their quant questions involve too many steps to solve, more than we reasonably have time to do in the time allotted. So focus on official questions, take the GMATPrep tests, and maybe add the Princeton Review tests. They're much more accurate than MGMAT in my opinion.
