Hi Sheila,
I'm sorry to hear about the last-minute issues that you faced regarding your GMAT; those types of distractions almost always hurt a Test-takers performance (meaning that you could potentially have scored higher on your Exam if those issues had not occurred). That having been said, we have to be careful about assuming that this situation is the only factor in why your Score dropped. Before we discuss any of those potential other issues though, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Magoosh verbal section & Kaplan GMAT 800 book
