I have been working for 5 years now and i think i got a serious test taking problem. I can concerntrate very well at home but not on the test day.
I have actually done several practice tests (Gmatprep) before the offcial test day. The lowest i got was 510 and the highest was 620. I was so confident on the test day and I felt so good after the quantitative part, but the verbal part was a disaster. I left 3 to 5 questions unattended. Of course, i got a very bad result that i almost wanted to kill myself

Does anyone know what is the penalty for the unanswered questions?
Does anyone know how to be calm on the test day?
I only need 500 to pass!!!!!!!!!! How can that be so tough!!! I have never felt that stupid and useless before....
Thanks guys.

The stress of the actual test can be huge. Do you maybe have test anxiety? Or did the verbal part just feel different than what you'd seen in practice?

"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."
