Hello,
I am a non-native and started my GMAT preparation in June, 2017 (~5 years experience in Consulting & Advisory ~Big 4/ Indian Telecom no.1...Master in Business Economics & Bachelor in Technology (Computer Science Engineering).
I gave my first GMAT and scored 630 (Q47, V29) (https://gmatclub.com/forum/esr-analysis ... 45644.html). I think exam anxiety and pressure took a toll in my first attempt.
I geared up again and started focusing more on Verbal

Hi Luckisnoexcuse!
Thanks for posting! Happy to help
First of all, congratulations on all your hard work so far! The number one, most important thing that you should do for these last 10 days or so is to go back through your old incorrect questions. One of the most important parts of studying effectively, possibly the most important part, is learning from your mistakes. That means carefully revisiting every single question you get wrong and spending ample time analyzing why you got it wrong, how you could have gotten it right, and what you can learn to avoid the mistake in the future.
Mike wrote an awesome blog post about this some time ago which I highly recommend. Basically, studying your mistakes gives you maximum improvement. So, go back through the explanations, study the related concepts, research any methods you're not comfortable with that are mentioned in the solution, and really analyze the questions. Doing so will help you solidify your understanding of the question and concepts being tested, preparing yourself for similar questions in the future.
This applies both to Math and Verbal. At this point, you've answered tons of practice questions (nice job!). But just practicing questions isn't enough - you need to make sure that you're really learning from all of them. As you go back through the old questions, try to notice any patterns in your incorrect answers. You'll probably find that there are specific question types, or concepts, that you tend to struggle with. Those are the ones that you want to focus on. When you identify an area like this, look up the relevant strategies for that particular question type or subject. A good starting point for that is the Magoosh Blog - just search for whatever you want to work on. The blog also has additional practice questions, as well as challenge practice questions
Finally, check out these posts about test anxiety:
I hope some of this helps! If you have any other specific questions, let me know
