Hi everyone!
I took the GMAT about two weeks ago and got a 615 (Q83, V81, DI77). I felt extremely anxious for this test as I did a non-stem degree and actually do no real math for the last 4 years. Frankly speaking, I have a history of really bad anxiety when it comes to test taking.
Tbh I kinda tell myself that I was not cut for this during the DI section and just froze for the remaining 5 questions eventho I still had enough time, tanking my score (I thought I f up one MSR session, but turned out I got it all correct and just let it mess with my mentality, and my score took the hit). After seeing my score report, I reflected and saw how I let my anxiety take over during the exam. Prior to this exam, I got fluctuating scores ranging from 595, 615, 675, tbh depending on how pressurized I am about the test.
After taking this exam, I regrouped, took some rest, fixing my mindset and did 2 new official mock test. The first one I took with a fresh mind, low expectation and got a surprising 735 (Q89, V85, DI 86). I was shocked but this really help with my confident. Then I did a second one and got 675 (Q90, V79, DI 82). Tbh I felt a bit less restful on the day I took the second mock. Also, after the Quant section, I felt I did really good on the Quant so I try perfecting the verbal and DI section as well, which making me going a bit over time in the first few questions.
I took both test in a strict testing condition, similar to what I experienced on the official exam day.
I’m gonna do my retake in 2 days. Do you think I’m ready? Should I take another mock test? What’s the best thing I can do for myself from now till the testing day?
Thanks so much for your help!

Hi doloreodit,
Those are some really good scores!
As for whether you should take another practice test, that's really up to you. However, I wouldn't recommend it. With only 2 days to go, there's very little to be gained by taking another practice test now. Light review and rest/sleep are probably more important. Also, as you mentioned in your post, it's a good idea not to change your approach during the test.
All the best!
