Hi everyone,
I just gave a gmat test today and got and I felt devastated. I felt being cheated somehow since my one month of study was now wasted. My deadline is in March and I do not think I can make it anymore. However, this is no longer admission problem. The low score harmed my self esteem. Thus, I would like to retake and ace the test in April. Please everyone, please come in and give me some of your wisdom.
My background:
Undergraduate: B.S. in accounting decent US undergraduate school
GPA: 3.3
Exp: 2 years
Goal: MBA in non-profit
After diagnosed my performance, I realized my low score was contributed by two factors
1. I took longer than 8 mins for the break and thus came back late for the math exam about 1 minutes. Yeah, I did not want to turn on my cell phone and estimated wrongly the time. I became antsy at that point on and kept glancing at the clock. Still, I am unable to understand my V score since normally I could get 28-32 for this one.
2. There was another test taker with me and he was extremely noisy.
Thus, I am planning to delicate 80% of my time in this next month for verbal. My weakest would be RC>CR>SC. For the past months, I used mostly OG and the gmatclub forum. I am an avid and fast reader, but I assume my problem is that I got bored quickly with reading. Do you have any recommendation? I know there are many good debrief out there right now. However, I wonder if any one has a similar situation.
On the other note, should I still apply for two low rank graduate schools since all of my other elements are well built and ready?
Thank you so so much for reading and commenting. I just feel so lost,sad and other negative emotion. It would be great to hear back from some of you.

It seems you already got to the bottom of your weakness and just need to review your weaknesses. Do not panic during the exam. I know it is easy to tell, but think about something positive. Good luck with your second try.
