Hi,
I am here just to share my bad experience so that none of you repeat my mistake.
This was my 2nd GMAT attempt.My 1st attempt was 550(Q48 V19). In my 2nd attempt my goal was simple try to maintain Quant score if possible improve it and improve on verbal section(as much as possible).
But my 2nd attempt result wrote a different story. I got 480(Q45 V13). I failed on strategy making,its implementation as well as pressure handling.
My quant score lowered by 3 points so I was not able to be consistent in my strong area.
My verbal score also went down by 6 points so I failed pretty badly this time.
Though I have no explanation for my lower quant score, my lower verbal score had one more reason behind it.
I was not able to complete last question on verbal section and it affected very badly on my overall score.
I would suggest all of you please do not make this mistake which I made.
I am definately not giving up. I will be giving GMAT again but I would love to hear advices from all of you so that I dont blindly move into the darkness with an sole intention to fight but actually get something out of all -ves that I have got from this exam and come out of it with all +ves.

suniel429, sorry to hear that.
You did mention some important points regarding pressure handling and not finishing the tests. We wrote about how perfectionists try to get everything right before moving onto the next question -- and how that puts them at risk of not finishing the test: https://www.gmatpill.com/about/studying- ... trategies/
You can also see some notes about timing and psychological strategies that might help you in the future.
