I am absolutely devastated after taking my first GMAT in 20 days spending close to 100 hours on TTP.

Is it still possible to go to a high score such as 700?

Anyone face the same situation? I am lost.

Possible yes, but not by counting hours. There are some who get 700+ with 2 weeks of prep, there are some who take 1 year+. GMAT is not a knowledge test for which we can cram in a few days and score well. It is a test of reasoning which means the time we take to prepare for it depends on our starting point.
A 435 indicates gaps in fundamentals. So find out what needs to be done - most likely a thorough walk through of fundamentals of each section - and start on that. Soon you will start seeing improvement.

You can definitely hit 700+! It's totally normal for your first test to be lower due to excessive tension, lack of test-taking strategies, and not enough study time. Don't feel rushed or discouraged!
