I just took the GMAT for the second time today, scored a 570 (Q38,V30), a 10 point decrease from the first time I took it 580 (Q42, V28) 
After all this, I think I've just delayed my application into a master's program a year
. At least I'll have plenty of time to study now.
Regardless, I got rushed in both sections. I was doing Venn diagram problems and some tough probability in the math section when I noticed that my time was running out. I rushed to the end, and before I knew it, my last question was an easy absolute value question!
During the break, I promised not to repeat the same scenario, but of course it happened again, just not quite as bad.
Do you folks have any reccomendations as to make sure you're staying on track? I know more time should be focused at the beggininng, but it looks like I over do it every time.
-Thanks,
Justin

I have not yet taken the test, but a much discussed strategy for keeping track every 1/3rd of time works for me during practise tests.
Divide time in two slices:
50 min - Math you must be on 12th or higher number problem and Verbal 15th or higher
25 min - Math: 25th or higher and verbal, 30th or higher
Last 5 mins if you have more than 3 problems left on either section, be mentally ready to guess one quickly and solve the rest two properly.

I run into this same problem as well. The best advice I have ran into here is to actually devide up the time, as the person above me has suggested, and then practice problems according to those time schedules.
Example:
Quant there are 75 mins to complete 37 questions. That gives you 2min and 3 seconds to complete each question.
The idea is to time yourself so that you have an internal clock letting you know are running out of time on a question.
My strategy is a little diffrent. Since the first 15 questions of the verbal are the most important I practive giving myself extra time on each of these questions and then work on answering the later questions more quickly.
Anyone else with any advice?
