I am on my Day 2 of the 60 day GMAT Prep. I Did my Quant diagnostic test yesterday and I absolutely sucked at it. I was on "below average" in the interpretation table. I was excellent in Math in high school but now I don't remember anything I learned back then.

RC & SC were not that bad.

Did anybody have the same experience? Will it get any better? How much?

The diagnostic test is a killer. Don't worry too much about it.
The test is meant to familiarize you with the types of questions found on the GMAT and give you a very approximate idea of your current skills.

You will retake this test later on to help gauge your progress.

Remember, you're only on Day 2. So, don't dwell too much on the results of this test.

Cheers,
Brent

"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."
