Glad to have helped you in some small way. I think your list of thanks and your 70-point increase to go beyond the 700 threshold stand as a testament to the power of GMAT Club. Well done, even if you decide to enter the fray once more. (I would at least let the dust on this experience settle first.)

Yours posts helped a lot. The sc posts were truly amazing, the explanations and the right strategy for going ahead with the questions were amazing. I am thinking of a month of practice before retaking the exam because I feel I can reinforce whatever breaches that surfaced during the exam.
It is too bad you cannot order an ESR to confirm your own suspicions of what may have gone wrong during the test. Even so, as I often tell my students, you should focus on what you did right (in your preparation) so that you can reinforce those neurological pathways and set yourself up for success in the next attempt. Do not rush that retake and simply hope for the best. Take it when you
you are more prepared than you were the last time. If that takes reestablishing certain accuracy benchmarks for your practice sets, then so be it. Finally, if you treat the test as another trial run, your mind will be much more at ease, and you will likely perform at a level comparable to what you have achieved in practice. On the other hand, if you grow too nervous and resort to checking every last detail for each question, the clock will continue to be your enemy.
Good luck.
