While I achieved a 750 and a 760 on the GMATprep tests, my marks on the actual test today were not as impressive.
The AWA section was fairly straightforward, and it was a good way to get my brain functioning so early in the morning.
Quant started off fairly simple and gradually became incredibly difficult. I had 3 Combination / Permutation questions, which is more than I've seen on any of the practice tests. Inevitably, I guessed 2 or 3 of the last 10 questions since I was starting to get short on time. I arrived at the last question with ample time to solve it and be sure of a correct answer.
However, I was not totally satisfied. I actually felt a little disappointed thinking that there was no way I would be able to match my practice scores with such a difficult series of Quant questions. Unfortunately, I think this affected me going into the Verbal.
The verbal seemed pretty straightforward and I was very happy with my progress through it. Although, I kep thinking about how I wasn't going to hit that 700 with such a poor performance in Quant. I rushed through it and was left with 10 minutes for the last 3 questions - in hindsight, probably not a very good idea.
I contemplated cancelling my scores for about 2 seconds and then proceeded by ignoring that urge. I was shocked with the result, especially how far away from my expectations that actual results turned out to be. This is all the more reason why I now feel extremely disappointed with the end result.
So if there's one piece of advice I can give, do not let your performance on previous sections affect you. If you do, then your mark can only get worse. Pretty obvious, I agree, but maybe not while you're in there.
Maybe I should have spent more time on GMATclub's verbal section of the forum rather than it's Quant as that was the only studying I ended up doing.
Oh well, no time for grievance, my first application deadline is in less than a month.

Comon, your score is not at all bad.... what are you talking about? 
Yes, it is common, that people get discouraged by Q part, which, as turns out later, seems to be perfect. The same story is here...
Of course, you are able to go deep into 700.... Q 50 its amazing...
