Unprepared for Scheduled GMAT

I took a practice test 2 days ago (Manhattan GMAT) and got a 520 which is significantly lower than I would like to score on the exam.

I realized that I made a TON of stupid mistakes and while reviewing the test, prior to looking at the answers for questions that I got wrong, I attempted to solve them again. In many cases, I got the correct answer.

There is no turning back as my test is scheduled for Wednesday. I am looking to possibly use this test as a dry run, but I'm not sure if I should plan to cancel my score. Does that seem a bit too self-defeating?

I'm not giving up and I'll study like crazy all weekend, but I've heard that offical GMAT scores tend to be a bit lower than practice test scores.

Any advice/comments are welcome!

Havent taken the test yet, but based on what i have heard - take gmatprep and relax. Confidence is as important as working hard. If you think too much about 520 you will probably end up around there. Just me 2c

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
