GMAT Strategy

question, i have been studying for a while now and scoring between 660-700 on the gmatprep CAT test however, when i took the real thing last weekend, i only got a 590. I ran out of time on the math and started to panic towrads the end. on the practice, its been usually Q45, V34, and on the real thing i got Q37,V34. could it have been nerves?

i need to take it again by end of october. any advice? thanks

Pratice more on your timing. Also, Did you have any repeat questions during math that you already knew the answer to? This might be the case, if you didn't have timing issues on the practice tests...

at the very beginning, i did not and did not run out of time.

i'm really hoping it was just nerves but i know i need to improve my verbal score too so working on that as well.

thanks!
