Hi everyone,
So I started preparing for GMAT about 6-7 months ago. I was regular in my practice, gave mocks, worked on the weak areas. I timed my mocks accurately, simulated the conditions. Every weekend, I would give a mock, while on the week work on my weak areas. The last 2 months before GMAT, I gave about 5-6 official tests, wherein most of my scores were in the 720-740 range, and other software tests, where I was in a similar range. My usual breakdown would be a Q49 or Q50, and and a V42-V44.
On test day however, I felt like my test was going good. However, my result came as 650, and I had to cancel the score. The breakdown was a Q40 and V30 as far as I remember. So I'm really trying to understand what should be my next plan of action. Any help of suggestions welcome.
I personally feel my DS is still a bit weak, even though I had worked on it, I'm slow with it, so want guidance regarding that. I'm also planning to purchase Manhattan/Kaplan material for next prep. Are these the right steps? Any advice is welcome. I'm trying to formulate a study plan rather than just start all over again.

Hi friend,
No need to get demotivated, it might not be your day. Sometimes test nervousness and anxiety takes the best out of you, it doesn't mean you are not capable of scoring high. Judging from your Practice test score you have got strong foundation of basic.
One thing you can do is get your ESR report from mba.com, it will help you get the idea where you lacked and how you performed during test. Analyse the ESR and make plan to brush up your weak areas. It will help you make strategy for further course.
For DS area, practice from old GMAT guides/quant review and you can definitely use mahhattan mocks for practice , you can also use gmat club test. It will help you build confidence.
All the best for 2nd attempt man!

Hi DS219,
Sorry to hear about your bad test day experience.
It is very unusual to see such a deviation from mock scores, Perhaps, not your best day. I would suggest ordering ESR from the mba.com, that would give you an insight into your weak areas and help you plan the next steps accordingly.
Regards
