Hi guys,
i just had a pretty horrible experience with my first attempt in gmat online exam.
The checkin process was quite comfortable but the test day anxiety and certain pitfalls in quant took a toll on my T day performance.
I ended up scoring a 590 Q42 V29
My score just crashed down given my 6 months of rigourous preparation and a consistant 740+ in my gmatprep mocks
background and prep materials
I started my preparation mid april 2020 and was quite consistant in my preparation, studying almost 21 hours a week.
study materials
quants
1.GMAT quantitative mega thread from gmat club
2.VeritasKarishma notes
3.target test prep
quants was initially my weakest area but TTP and veritas karishma notes helped me with that.
I completely relied on gmatclub practice questions using filters to practice depending upon the difficulty, I mostly used only official questions for my prep.
verbal
1.manhattan SC AND CR
2.GMATNinja SC videos
I was quite strong in verbal from the start of my prep, but V29 was a real hit.
I practiced manhattan questions and official questions in GMATCLUB and OG2018.
TEST DAY EXPERIENCE
The checkin process was quite elobrate since I chose to use a physical white board.
The first question of quant was quite tough not the typical sub 600 ones I get in my mocks.I believed that the first 10 questions played a significant role in my quant score and ended up spending 3.5 mins on the first question and still ended up guessing, the anxiety started to buildup right from there.
I was quite struggling to manage time and I felt the questions were a tougher than the ones I faced during my prep.
Im not sure if any one else have felt the same way about the quant session of gmat online or maybe I a got tougher ques set
I some how managed to reach the last question with 2 mins left, I dont know if it was a problem from my side but the quants window closed and the verbal session started almost immediately.
I ended up leaving the last question unanswered.
Having read in certain articles that leaving a question unanswered can severely impact a score ,I felt grounded.
This anxiety was carried over to my verbal session, as I struggled to concentrate and recognize the traps,but still I felt quite satisfied with my verbal performance.
my scores were published today and I feel stranded.
GMAT PREP MOCKS
gmatprep 1 -740 Q50 V40
gmatprep 2- 760 Q51 V41
gmatprep 3- 750 Q51 V40
gmatprep 4- 750 Q50 V42
I took these mocks in the last 2 months with a physical whiteboard.
I fell so devastrated by seeing the 100+ points drop in my official score. Im not sure if anxiety could lead to such a fall or if I had other gaps in my knowledge that needs to be addressed.
Im concerned about what pattern of preparation I had to follow right now and when to schedule my next exam.
my target score is 720+, im not sure how to bridge this gap in the next exam.
Experts kindly help me with your inputs on how I should improve my score.
Also Please give me your perspectives on why I was not able to match my target score and when I should possibly schedule my second attempt.
Thankyou for reading through my debrief.

Your lowest official test score was 740. So, we are seeing a 150 point drop! Can only imagine what a shocker it would have been Madhumitha. Have rarely seen such huge dips:(.
Also, you had a 12 point drop in Verbal, despite the fact that you felt 'satisfied' with your Verbal performance during the exam!
I have just one question: Did you get a lot of repeat questions in your mocks?

Thank you for your reply EducationAisle
I got atmost 2-3 questions in my mocks which I had already seen during the course of my prep but I approached them as I would approach the other ones.
Moreover in the gmat exam I was provided with 2 long RCs back and a series of 4 CRs back to back.
So I did kind of rush through them in an attempt to complete the test Since they were time consuming. I was just satisfied that I was able to complete the session.
