Hi everyone!
I have a question about scores...
I just did GMAT for the 3rd time and I scored lower than on my second attempt... I did GMAT 3 times. In February 540 (Q35 V29), in May 600 (Q44, V27) and today 560 (Q42, V26)
My main concern here is Quant. I've been studying for the past 7 months. I invested at minimum 1000 hours into GMAT, maybe much more!..
I don't have a tutor, I self-study. I used Manhattan books, Veritas books and Magoosh course and spent days here on the forum.
I started studying from absolute scratch. No math knowledge since like 7th grade. I mean it. All of this to say that I studied really a lot, did hundreds of questions from different sources. It is true that I didn't do any CATs since my last GMAT, but I spent this time studying the concepts I struggled with on my official 2nd GMAT.
Today on my official 3rd GMAT, the quant questions I saw were really strange. Like nothing I've seen during my practice, I swear! And I've seen A LOT of questions during my study. I could see that the question itself wasn't difficult, but I didn't get it. It happened on like 10 questions, I was really surprised by the "format".
So, is it possible that today I simply got unlucky with my questions? I know it sounds lame, but really, have you ever encountered something like this? Imagine I retake the exam in 16 days with no study, do you think I could improve to, say, 47? Because I really think I can get that mark, but today I was shocked by the questions, they were totally "inconvenient." I could clearly see the difference from my previous GMAT. If I had got those-type of questions today I am pretty sure my score would be way higher.
Please share any insights on this.
Thank you!

You mean the nature and format of questions were totally different from what you have seen on :
1. OGs
2. GMATPrep
3. Manhattan
4. GMATClub Quants
??
If that is the case then what is the use of practicing with renowned sources for an exam whose format changes dynamically? Specifically what is the use of official retired questions??
