Dear community,
As the topic says, I had a horrible GMAT experience...
I took the GMAT without preparation on October 31rst. I did this because I always had problems with test day anxeity and therefore wanted to the REAL test experience.
MY first score was 590 (Q43/V27) which I cancelled.
Consequentially, I was confident that a 600+ should not be a problem. I went through the OG and the OG Verbal/Quant books, as well as through some MGMAT books. Additionally I also bought the Magoosh premium programm and went through that.
There it became evident that I don't have too many problems with easy and medium questions, but with hard ones.
In the week before the GMAt I took 3 MGMATs in which I scored 680 (Q47/V35), 680 (Q47/V35) and 670 (Q45/V36).
To keep something long short, I retook the GMAT yesterday and got a horrible 580 (Q44/V25). I wrote the test at a convenient time and really felt good. IR went very well, which gave me additional confidence.
I don't know what happened, but it really fustrated me - not that my score was not as good as expected but even worse!!!!
Unfortunatelly, I can retake it in february the earliest, because I am doing an internship until the end of January.
What shall I do ? And which resources ?
Cheers,

The same situation to me. I got terrible 39 from quant, when my average score was 47.
I will try to solve as much as possible quant exercises and get more familiar with them. I will use mainly gmatclub + official question pack that i bought before exam.
Maybe a good idea would be to buy gmat prep official questions?
What do you think why you showed not greatly? Because I thought that i was really highrolling after math
maybe you hit 5-6 wrong questions in a row in the end?
