I started studying nearly 8 hours a day since February. I took a variety of practice exams, reviewed intensely, and tried to hone in on my weaknesses.
Most of my verbal scores ranged between V38-V42 on practice exams. 3 days before my GMAT date, I took GMATPrep 2 under test like conditions and scored a 700 (Q44 V42) so I thought I was ready if I just brushed up on quant. Unfortunately, I ended up scoring horribly on the official one with a 640 (Q44 V34). I was quite crushed by this score. I thought I was doing reasonably well on verbal but GMAT verbal is much tougher than I had thought.
For quant, I was really thrown off by using the notepad they give you. I ran out of room after question 15 or so and was flipping into random pages to find small spaces where I can do calculations. This definitely affected my score as my mind was pretty frazzled as a result of this.
How do I prepare from here? I have no idea what type of questions I missed on the official exam.
I've already gone through MGMAT material, GMATprep material, Aristole SC, Powerscore CR, and OGs.
Really disappointed in myself to say the least. I was expecting something in between 680 - 720 which is what I've been scoring on various practice exams.Image may be NSFW.
