Gave the GMAT Focus for the second time and scored Q83,V86,DI78 with section order Q,V,DI. While the exam in itself wasn't tough, there were a few surprises -
1. 4 Back-to-back RC's with no CR in between - While 4 RC's is a normal trend, I've never had them back to back in any of my mocks till now so I was a bit surprised. From the time I started preparing I've been told that RC can either make or break your score so I had done a few LSAT sitting just to make sure I can sit with the amount of information as well as increase my reading speed. (Used GMAT CLUB forum quiz + other pdf's for the LSAT passages)
2. 2 MSR's back to back - Even though I've seen this happening in 2 of the official mocks, I wasn't sure what to expect in the exam. In my previous attempt, DS was a lot but this time hardly 3-4 questions of DS were there in the entire thing. DI was the last section and very information / reading heavy for me. I did lose a lot of time in few questions and did end randomly marking for the last 6 questions (usually I used to mark for 2) so the drop in DI
Few things that helped me throughout my prep -
1. Official mocks - They're great. Previously I had heard that they're easier than the real exam and hence, I shouldn't rely on them completely. While I do agree to some extent for DI, but for verbal and quant they're pretty accurate.
2. TTP - For DI & for a few Quant topics, I used TTP. I took the free 5 day trial and studied through the materials I was underconfident in / used to get scared off. TTP helped me get over my test anxiety with their tests and overall study material.
3. LSAT Long Sittings - In the last 10 days, I sat with LSAT papers for 3-5 hours as and when possible. Used to do 8 passages, 1 CR section repetitively without checking answers for as long as possible. It felt exhausting but helped with my brain rot.
4. Error Log - After every mock and in the last 2 days, I went through every question I went wrong in. It made me realize that my main mistakes come from misinterpretation, misreading, not reading all the options, and selecting rather than eliminating. So made a conscious effort to read and understand properly in exam.
5. Meditation & Exercise - While I didn't do a lot of both, but I made sure to go for walks / gym almost everyday in the morning. My test anxiety is always on peak so these have helped me get the levels down somewhat.
While the score is not exactly what I wanted so I might give it another try but at least for now, I'm okay with in.
I hope this debrief helps someone!

Hi Shruuuu,
Congrats on a great score! I'm happy to see you were able to benefit from TTP, even if it was just our 5-day trial. Thank you for sharing, and good luck with things moving forward.
