Hi guys, today I took the gmat for the first time and to say that I’m disappointed is still and underestimation. I only got a 565 after studying for 4 months and spending hundreds of euros on TTP and other sources. I’ve never felt more stupid in my entire life. I wanted to apply to SSE’s master in finance, but I really don’t think I stand a chance anymore with such a ridiculous score.
I realized I made many mistakes in my prep. I was terrified of quant, so I spent the great majority of these months to learn the basics on TTP. I eventually got better and scored pretty decently (80-ish something, I can’t remember, I blacked out as soon as I saw 565).
However, I’ve always considered Verbal quite easy and doable for me, I neglected it (big mistake). When I practiced on the official guide I was getting most of them right, some mistakes in hard and medium ones, but today I performed TERRIBLY and it killed my score... not sure what happened, maybe I was really anxious.
DI was the worst part for me, I didn’t have enough time to practice it.
The deadline for application closes on Jan the 15th, so I think the retaking the exam is pointless, I don’t have enough time.
I hope that my GPA and other aspects can help me, otherwise I’m desperate.

I think that you are making two big mistakes, not connected with the exam itself.
1. Being desperate - it will push you into making mistakes. Your life cannot and will not stop because of an exam, or ambition towards a course. So shed this desperation.
2. The GMAT is not a text of your intelligence. So stop considering yourself stupid or whatever. Be glad that GMAT can be taken anytime, and upto eight times. Think of exams that happens once a year. Get back on your feet and do it better next time.
Spending hundreds on trainers is neither a gauge of them nor you. It's a choice you made. Figure out what you did not do right and amend that. Even athletes do that.
Revisit your planning. A job well done is 99% well planned. You got something wrong somewhere. First time is a mistake, second time is a crime.
Chin up and kill it the next time. Best wishes.

Hi saratama,
I'm sorry to hear how things went on test day and I'm happy to help. To start, can you paste in a screenshot of your TTP analytics page?
