Hey,
I am taking the GMAT exam on Nov 7 2009.
Since Last 2 weeks, I have taken the practice test in the below order.

GMAT Prep - 680 (Q49,V34)
GMAT Prep - 590 (Q42, V29)
MGMAT - 570 (Q39,V30)
MGMAT - 590 (Q43,V29)
MGMAT - 630 (Q46,V31)
MGMAT - 620 (Q46,V30)

Till this I was confident of scoring 620-630.
However today, I took GMAT Prep and scored horribly. My score was
GMAT Prep - 500 (Q42,V18).

I am so scared now... I cant even postpone my test... big time freaked out... Don't know what to study and what not to study?

On average I have scored in Q42 and V30. I was hoping to get around 620-630. Now where do I go from here?? Plz help ...
what should be my last preparation??? Has anyone seen such weird result? My latest prep test had V18. I was hardly understanding the RC. I screwed up SC... SC has been my scoring point in Verbal...

What do I do now?

Your most recent test score seems to be out of line with all scores, not just MGMAT. Did you take the test in stressful conditions? Were you tired? Did you take all tests with AWA? There are several factors that could have influenced your performance and you should also give them due importance. Only then should you decide if it's worth your time to postpone or not.

IMHO, your best bet for the very last days before your test is to go for official material. Its quality is unmatched and it will put you in the right mindset for the real thing.
