First of all, you should not give up and check whether it is possible to submit your new score at a later date. Such a situation has happened to many test-takers before you.
Now you need to identify all problems that held you back.
Below you will find a few points worth considering:
- did you manage to answer all questions and finish all sections withing the time limit?
- did you exceed the time limit while solving your weak subjects (question types you find the most challenging)
- did you choose to guess when you could not solve a question easily or did you continued to struggle and exceeded the assigned time?

Hi Kasia

Thanks for taking out time for me...

yeah you are right ....Actually in verbal section I took much time in RC and when I realised i am taking much more time ,I guessed
So ultimatley not only I took extra time but also I did those question Wrong

So how to proceed ......
