Hi, after scoring 705, 715, and 735 in my last official mocks, I got a 655 on exam day. Quant is my weakest section so I really drilled in the month after my first attempt. My first attempt score was 645 (where the exam literally stopped during Quant and they had to restart the computer so I lost 1-2mins - they even refunded the exam fee). In my 2nd attempt my DI score dipped a bit from 85 to 81, and Quant improved from 73 to 78 (Verbal stayed the same at 88). I am at a loss of what to do because I've exhausted all official mocks and in the actual test Quant was much harder. I know DI can be a bit hit or miss, but Quant being so hard has thrown me off. At the time of my first attempt my highest official mock score was 675, so I def improved significantly in the month I had to prep between attempts.
If the official exam is so much harder than official mocks how could I have even effectively prepared? Feeling very dejected and not sure how to proceed from here. Have others experienced the same thing? Any advice? I have a degree in Econ and work in corp finance so I haven't faced the same level of math as engineers, but don't understand how this score is so bad and how I am just at 50th percentile after 4 months of prep, what am I doing wrong compared to others? How do I proceed?
(I've even done GMATClub and
ExpertsGlobal tests but found the Quant harder than the official mocks so thought they are maybe not representative, and I found Admit Masters too easy)
