I scored 670 today and am really disappointed!!!
First I want to thank everyone in this excellent club as they all helped me to prepare for the GMAT.
Here's my practise test scores, though they don't mean much now.
Kap1 570
Kap2 550
Kap3 640
Kap4 600
PR1 630
PR2 710
PP1 600 (taken in the intial phases of my prep)
PP2 750 (after doing OG)
GMAT Club Challenge #1 and #2 ranked in top 10
#3 ranked 27 (not representative as I had to leave for 10 mins in the middle of the exam)
About the Test
Quant was tough. Lots of DS with |X|'s
one of the 3 geometry Q's was tough!
1 Probablility and a lot of Mean/Median with some of them having time consuming calculations, No SDs
Kaplan Quant is representative of actual test
Verbal was unexpectedly tough
2 RCs back to back from Q3 to Q10 No CRs in first 15!!! This killed me. CR was my strong point!
The CRs came in the end when I was running out of time.
Had 4 RCs total ... guessed the last one that came at the fag end of the test
SCs were like hard OG Qs
RCs were like OG
CRs were definitely tougher than OG.
AWA was not tough at all. Followed the template from PReview.
I am definitly taking the test again in 4 weeks time.
I really need your advice on how I should prepare. I am planning to order the Manhattan GMAT 8 Tests (as I pretty much completed the current practice test CDs I have). I also don't mind taking online courses or not-too-expensive classroom courses. If you guys know of any good course please let me know.
Thanks again for all your help

Srijay,
what is your score break-up (quant and verbal)?
I will leave others to give better advice on the preperation as I have not given gmat yet;my advice would be all guess work.
But dont worry, it is pretty clear from your prep scores, you are definately a 700 potential. Were there any distractions on the test day? Any time management issues?What was your strategy on the test day and were you able to implement it well?

I took the test in San Jose center (Saratoga-280 intersection)
The test center is ok, not great. There will be a lot of other people taking other tests, which I believe is shorter than the GMAT. So while you are taking the test, there will be people moving in and out at times. However they provide ear plugs which were pretty helpful. I was too focussed on the test and to be honest wasn't distracted with what's going on around.
I planned to sleep complete 8 yrs yesterday night! But I just couldn't and ended up sleeping only 3 hrs!!! However I had slept pretty well the last couple of days, so I wasn't feeling that tired while taking the test. Also, by the time you reach the middle of verbal you are completely exhausted!!! So try to use the break as much as possible instead of hurrying thru the test. The San Jose center is flexible in terms of break time. They wont mind if you take a 10 minute break. One thing that I hated was they didnt allow me to carry even a glass of water in the test arena.
