Scored 640 while aiming 690

scored 640 in GMAT
50 in Math;27 in verbal
I thought that I would have good result from exam but unfortunately the didn't work out the way I expected in the verbal section. Verbal section appeared simple as I was aware of the subjects covered under RC. SC was quite challenging. At the end of exam I expected least 670 to appear on screen but I was wrong.

Practice exams
Kaplan : 550-610; manhattan: 700,650,590
GMATPrep: 650, 680.700; Knewton:660
Study guides : OG12, OG11(partially), ManhattanSC,PR

I took 1 mins 30 sec extra in the break between Math and verbal. The passport and palm check took a little longer because one gentelman was waiting befor me to leave exam room. Though this loss of time shouldn't have impacted much, the final result, which is below average, compels me to delibarate each action during the exam. During regular practice session I wasn't quite organised in the sense that I gave exam on different computers on different laptops so my data was scattered. I will rewrite the exam next month.

By the way, One of the online score calculator had predicted 640!

Yes, I will keep trying.
At the same time, I will apply to one of the college.
