Dear bb, Bunuel, chetan2u, VeritasPrepKarishma,
To give you all a brief background, I took the GMAT in Feb 2016 and got a Quant score of 48. I retook the GMAT in Feb 2018 and got a Quant score of 49. I just retook it again yesterday and got a score of 46 so I, of course, cancelled my score.
I need a 50 or 51 because the program I applied to said I need to be in a higher percentile ranking and that the Quant score of 49 was not good enough.
My performance has stopped making sense to me. On the most recent exam, I also got a IR score of 8 and Verbal 42 without any practice, whereas, I have spent all my time practicing Quant. I was doing SO much better on practice tests. On the actual exam, I did have anxiety and felt rushed on the second half of the test.
I know I need to do something differently but I don't know what. I feel very disheartened and am almost beginning to lose my mind about what I am doing wrong in my prep. Any advice would be much appreciated from both the experts and folks who have taken and exam and are active on the forum.
Also, I am unable to gauge my improvement through official GMATPrep CATs because I have done them all twice or thrice. How do you suggest I gauge improvement?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Sorry to hear about your score. dropping to 46 from 49 is not a good sign. But being there at 49 should make you confident that you will scale up to 50-51.
Don't get burnt out in the process. BTW, which all gmat prep exam pack have you used up.

chetan2u,
That's the thing. I was feeling burnt out even before I took the exam.
I have used up all GMATPrep exams - the two free ones, Exam Pack 1 and Exam Pack 2.
Also, I learnt recently that the GMAT exam is changing from April 16th - both quant and verbal sections are becoming shorter with fewer number of questions. Do you think the Quant section scoring will be affected at all?
Finally, should I get the ESR report? If so, for which exam - the one with Q49 or Q46? Also, do we have to buy ESR separately for each exam?
Thanks!
