Did you bomb a prep test? or the real thing?

Either way, I guess it doesn't matter because it sounds like you'll be doing it again.

How long did you study for? what are your weaker areas? what materials did you use? whats your target score? how much time can you dedicate to your studies per week? what was your study plan before this test?

repetition is the key...
work on your weak areas but still maintain a solid confidence level on your stronger areas...

grind through more practice problem... remember to think of this as a game (and not a test) and maybe that'll help and motivate you through your studies...

other than that, we really don't know what to say unless you give us more specifics about areas of improvement. DS? learn the tricks. SC? memorize idioms and structures... RC? read more boring materials (for me, law and politics are super boring for me, so i try to read passages on these topics) etc...

Hi Michelle, without knowing too much of your own expectation, it's hard for others to judge what needs to be done. If you're aiming for a 550, there are things you could do for that. If you're constantly achieving 650 and want a 700+, there are different things to do for that as well. So it depends on what your own expectations are. No one here should be laughing/criticizing anybody else's score as I want to believe everyone's a mature adult here. Don't be afraid to share your experience; this will not only benefit others to learn, but also aid yourself in learning and absorbing the materials.
