Better luck next time! There is a sense of Deja vu when I read your post. Seems like reading my experience with GMAT!! I too felt extremely confident on the Verbal section and was totally stunned when I saw my score. Im still unsure if it was SC, RC or CR that screwed me over.
One of the mistakes I did was that I peaked too soon... I felt I was in the best frame of mind about 3 weeks before the actual test, after that point it was a gradual downhill, where I used to practice daily but it never added any value. This time around, I will book my test with about 2 weeks notice, and do it in a short burst rather than a prolonged exercise as my 1st attempt.
Another problem was I was a bag of nerves in the quant part of the test. So, all strategies went flying out and I started solving problems like a school boy and in the end started randomly guessing for about 4 - 5 questions. Still I managed 48. So, I feel if I stay calm I can easily top 50.
You seem to be excellent in Quant, so 48 does not look right, perhaps you have atleast a few points to gain there.
I took a 2 week break, recharged my batteries and ready for another attempt.
I am kind of feeling the same way. My gmat is in 9 days and I really feel like I peaked out around 10 days ago. I feel like I am forgetting things now. I dont even feel like solving anything anymore. Do you have any suggestions for me. Should I take a break for a few days and revise everything just 2 days before the test. But what if i really forget everything by then? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
