Hey everyone,
I just took my gmat today, after 2 months of study. I scored 700 (q48, v37), while scored 770, 750 and 760 twice (usually 50 for quant and 43 for verbal) for the 4 gmat prep tests that I took in real conditions, no repeat, awa done, different environment (went to a uni I didn't know). I really expected above 750, but today I felt so stressed and sick, I got the first quant question wrong (realised that too late) and I panicked... Verbal didn't go better, I felt like throwing up, SC was hard, couldn't focus.
I have already booked another exam (14th of Oct), for which I want to get around 750. Is there any plan you guys would recommend? I have done all the OG questions for quant and SC already, but no other prep material from unofficial companies.
I really feel sad and depressed

Hi cdegrave,
First off, a 700/Q48 is an outstanding score (it's right around the 90th percentile overall), so you can apply to any Business Schools that interest you. As such, a retest is probably not necessary.
We discussed this in a prior post, but at this scoring level, the GMAT becomes really sensitive to 'little mistakes' - at the 700+ level, a few poorly-placed mistakes can have a big impact on your score. From what you described, you weren't in the proper physical and mental 'place' to keep those few mistakes from happening. It might have been genuine sickness or some type of anxiety. Do you experience this type of nervousness in other aspects of your life?
