I felt this way with the Manhattan Test on which I scored 740. My question is, should I be too worried that I a...

Despite scoring 710-770 on practices, I showed up on game day and scored a 700.

I would recommend against taking a stimulant. I have the same problem, I find it very difficult to crack 47Q on the real GMAT despite having scored 48-50 on the real deal. I take Jack3d or No-Xplode before I work out. A lot of times, I am studying before I go lift, and when I take the supplement, I'...
