thanks buddy. I'm going to take off in about an hour to head down to the testing center. Feeling the nerves, hopefully I can calm down by the time I get there.
I don't know, I think if I'm not reviewing on my way down I'll just get myself more anxious thinking about it. I think it will be best. I'll let you know how it goes.

Well I ended up choking on my test. Not sure what happened I think it may have been the nerves because quant went pitifully for me. I ended up with a 730 - 45Q 45V.
I started out the quant badly, I took a good 4-5 minutes to solve each of the first two questions even though they were pretty simple. After I pulled myself together I was feeling pretty good for a bit, but then I started to encounter coordinate geometry problems, intermingled with 3d geometry. They kept coming one after another and I probably got around 10 or more total geometry questions. Geometry is my weak area, especially coordinate geometry, and so that really seemed to rattle me.
When I got to verbal, the first two questions again I had a hard time with, I had them both narrowed down to two answers but ended up just having to guess. After those couple initial questions most everything seemed clear to me and I think I probably got most of the rest of them correct, I can think of one other question that I was iffy about.
A couple other things about the verbal since I know there are a lot of questions about it right now. SC, I didn't see very many idioms at all, but yes there were a few that had to do with meaning. Overall they were very similar to GMATprep.
For RC I got four passages. Two were short/normal length, just a couple medium paragraphs like most of the ones in GMATprep. One was long, about twice as long as the other two, and the other one was even longer, probably three times as long as the shorter two and I think it was the longest RC passage I've ever encountered in my study materials or practice tests. Out of the four passages, the toughest was one of the shorter ones. It was a very technical scientific one.
Critical reasoning also seemed on par with GMATprep or MGMAT.
Anway, I'm pretty sure I'm going to retake. I feel pretty disappointed about my score, not so much the 730, but more the 45Q. I haven't scored that low in Q on a practice test in a long time. I'm trying to figure out what materials to study from. Anyone have suggestions? I've already worked through the OG, the Manhattan math books, etc.
