hi,
I was writing GmatPrep mock exam earlier in the day (1pm 32'C) and was also very confident about it. Essay and IR went pretty good, the quant section went great, eventually i scored a v48.
But when i started with the verbal part (at which i usually score around 35 in standalone mocks) i had a major anxiety attack or stress attack or whatever that was. It was not because i did not know how to solve, but more because i felt short of stamina, and i wasnt not nervous either.
as i moved to each harder question the anxiety started soaring, to a point where i could not understand anything i was reading, i was solving the SC only cause that did not require much effort but skipped the RCs altogether while solving some CR.
I do not know what happened to me and how to tackle it incase it happens during my real GMAT this sunday. Please help

Dear neerajladia,
I'm happy to respond.
From your description, it's hard to tell whether what you experienced was just elevated stress or a full-blown anxiety attack. In the case of something more serious, it would be good to talk to a doctor. I have a few articles for managing stress:

I hope this helps. Good luck and wishes of good health, my friend.
