I've been studying for the GMAT for about a year now. I had thought I was in a good place: I've good solve the hardest problem sets easily and consistently scored above 700 on 9 practice exams (mostly MGAT and Magoosh,). I thought the GMAT would be a breeze, but it was a disaster. I haven't taken the official exam in a while so most people told me it's probably testing anxiety, but wondering if anyone else has been in the same position? I'm really discouraged and angry at myself right now and could use some advice.

Hi theoryguy,
Many Test Takers face some amount of anxiety on Test Day, so you're not alone. There's a bit difference between being 'excited' on Test Day and being 'distracted' though - and before we can discuss how best to deal with this issue, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) When you say you studied for a year, what does that mean exactly? Were you studying a consistent number of hours each week? Did you take any 'time off' during your studies?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs/mocks (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) How did you score on the Official GMAT (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
Goals:
5) What is your goal score?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

There are probably a lot of things to see before commenting.With regards to test anxiety(since your not sure),i just wanted to ask if you felt hazy, had to reread the question 4-5 times before answering..?
