I need help boosting my confidence...With a month and a half left to study, I took my second practice test yesterday and recieved a score I am frankly too embarrassed to mention...In the Quant section I actually managed to UNANSWER 6 questions as I ran completely out of time. Should I really be THAT down about my score and inability to understand the content OR do unanswered questions have that big of an affect on your score, in which case it's just a matter of getting the timing down??

i dont know the exact weight, but unanswered questions matter much more than getting one wrong. you should never ever leave a question unanswered... obviously, you're going to need to work on your timing, but if you ever run into a situation where you have 30 secs- 1 min left, just guess on the last few

You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right, but it will not come near you.
- Psalm 91: 5-7

"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."
