Wow, it sounds like you've been through some rough stuff lately. Sorry to hear about your friend's dad. That's definitely the sort of thing that makes it hard to focus on filling in silly little bubbles.

If anything, it makes me feel even more optimistic that you'll break through on your next attempt, though. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't see any mention of the GMAT Quant Review and GMAT Verbal Review books in your original post, and I would definitely recommend using those--there's simply no substitute for official questions. And you'll definitely want to purchase the GMATPrep Question Pack, which contains 400 retired questions.

The MGMAT tests are worth doing, but it's really hard for any test-prep company to perfectly copy the style of the test. Since your verbal score is already really high, you might want to stick with the official questions in the resources mentioned above, and maybe supplement with a little bit of LSAT for a good CR and RC challenge. And then use the MGMAT CATs primarily for quant. And when you practice, really be hard on yourself about the careless errors... if you can eliminate those, I'm sure that you'll be more than fine.

Please kick the crap out of the GMAT next time, and please tell us all about it afterward. Good luck with everything!
