Dear Friends/Experts,
I am having some indirect issues with the test that negatively affect the result of it.
One of them is psychological; as I start solving the problem and understand the difficulty level I am getting internal panic. By this, I fail to answer the question in appropriate manner and get short of the time. Before, I thought it was due to knowledge and incorrect solving techniques. Now I understand that it is some kind of psychological pressure within myself and I am hardly overcoming it during the test. This also negatively affects my internal confidence and creates the impression that I will never achieve the target score.
Timing is another major issue I am having. The question which I could solve for 30 secs or 1 minute takes some 2-3 minutes and decreases my chances to fully complete the section.
I understand that it is not a topic that can get simple advice in this forum, but If any of the experts willing to share recommendations I will be more than happy to read them.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
the main reason why you feel that you are under pressure is because you are not confident enough. The reason why you are not confident is most likely because you are not perfectly prepared. If you are due to your prep confident you stay automatically cool and calm.
Do as many GMAT practice tests as you can before doing the real GMAT. By that you can get familiar with the test and its timing. Timing is another aspect that is directly effected by your preparation. If you did enough practice questions timing will be no issue. You will simply now what to do how and in which order.
Regarding to the preparation you need: You have to decide for yourself if you want to watch a video course, visit a class course or getting your own personal tutor. The best and most effective kind of prep is def. private tutoring because you have an expert who will eliminate your personal weaknesses.

You are facing psychological issues of the exam --- which is a big component that is overlooked. Timing strategies are key. You want to make sure that you come into an exam with a structured strategy. You'll see curve balls on the GMAT -- this will screw up with how you answer questions. If you know your strategy going in, you stay firm and increase your confidence when you answer each question. With a structured approach, you can definitively say what the answer is -- without double guessing and spending the next 30 seconds confirming that your answer is correct from a different angle.
