Does it all seem like a blur after the test is done?

Hi everyone,
I wrote my test less than 2 weeks ago. I felt I was in full attention and I knew what is going on during the AWA section. After the test, I felt the whole thing was a blur. My quant score was okay! But my verbal was horrible.

I knew what I was doing during the test and I was paying attention, but after the test was done, it just felt like a blur. For a while I didn't believe I was done.

I barely remember any questions I faced or which part of the test I struggled with except what I knew from my practice tests

Any comments?

I think that when the test goes by quickly it means that you're decently prepared for it. Also, the test is only a couple hours, which is a relatively small amount of time when you compare it to the number of hours that your have to study. Also, I think that it's normal that you don't remember a lot of the questions from the test. Unless you were actively trying to remember questions these things tend to slip away. I think people usually only remember one or two questions that really bugged them during the test
