This has happened with me when i gave official mock 3. I scored only 565 which is even less than my score in real exam. Other thoughts were constantly running through my head and i was even zoning out. I wasted one official mock

Thankyou for your advice

Taking a mock when your mind is occupied by personal stress is a guaranteed score-killer. The GMAT, especially the DI section, heavily relies on executive function and working memory, which easily get hijacked by emotional stress.

Have a clear mind and keep practicing...

It is always the case that we get overwhelmed by the outside thoughts that we don't focus on things which are in front of us.
