Hello,

Let me clarify - I assume that you are able to solve those questions in under 2 minutes when you are NOT taking the test. The rest of my advice is hinged on this

Try to cut your test into 5 shorter length tests of 15minutes and 8 questions (for Verbal) or 7 questions (for Quant). It helps to focus on each of these 5 mini-tests and make sure you complete these. That way even if you have to guess - you are able to guess early on rather than make random guesses towards the end. So say in the first set of 15 minutes you are at question 6 - then go ahead and guess the next 2. So each set of 15-minutes you have your goal cut out for you.

However once you are able to get over this anxiety problem then go back and see if you can spend maybe a few more minutes in the first block of 15-minutes without panicking since the adaptive algorithm would penalize you more for a mistake early on.

3 quick things you can try:

1) Apart from this try some breathing, meditation exercises it definitely helps. Just try to focus yourself about 5 minutes before the test and take deep breaths telling yourself this is not the end of the the world (actually it is not! ).

2) You may even seen professional help and get some meds for this if you feel it is a bigger problem. I believe it is not affecting your GMAT practice tests alone. I would assume it would impact other parts of your life so better to get a solution for it.

3) You have not mentioned how many you have taken? Which tests have you taken? Are you taking these tests in a simulated condition? Are you taking it at work where you are uncomfortable? In any case another solution is to take more tests than usual - not so much to gauge yourself but to put yourself at ease.

Let us know if this works,
