i dont know what to do at this present.I am an indian took long leave from job, quarreled with my boss and decided to
give gmat on 23 july.solved og complete,solved gmat club test,manhattan challange problems gave 15 test

i may absurd silly mistake in quant and loose concentration and perform miserably in verbal
my only hope was gmat,i cannot see the way ahead

now your preparation seems okie so where are your pitfalls;
1)too much tensed
2)believing thatgmat is the last and only hope
3)silly mistake too bad fr GMAT where your score depends on every question;
now things to do:
1)download error log from this forum
2) sit with OG
3)solve every question once again this time your focus should not be on solving problem you know but the problem where you are making silly mistake and things which you know but you are wasting some time to recollect it or something
4)this error log will be bible for you
5)once you caoture your error try to make a point you are not going to repeat this .this will come with practice

now coming to 23 days
1)3 to 4 days should be given to AWA
2)revise senetnce correction concept
3)maths concept
dont give any exams for next 2 week
after 15 days again download gmatpre from mba.com and give those two exams
those will be reflection of your actaul GMAT score

you are not looser dear gmat should not decide wether you are looser or not it just 4 hr exams
positive mindset and concentration will do wonder for you
within 14 days i have seen people getting 680 to 720

so buckle up and give it a shot as there is no tommorow for you
Ideation without execution is delusion

Hello,
As Amising6 said, you really need to learn from your mistakes. Have you gone back through all the problems that your got wrong, took too long, you weren't sure of etc.. ? You should go through these questions again (maybe one a week) until they're no longer a problem for you. Reviewing questions often takes longer than doing questions so make sure you put some time in. Also, as Amising said, you should work on SC. Have you read any books for this? Building a strong base for SC is critical. I read the Manhattan book 3 times because this was one of my weak areas when I was studying. Finally, make sure you practice on some RCs everyday. If you get better at reading it'll help you on the whole test.
