Guys, I need your help. I took my test last Thursady and got a 410. I used the official guide (11th ed),Princeton Review book, as well as Kaplan's book. I have been scoring 550 all the time on my practice tests, never running out of time. On test day, I became so messed up, I allowed my nerves to get hold of me during my english section. I pretty much missed ten whole questions as tiem ran out on me. Cna someone please tell me how I shold have studied for this test. I am realising that most of you aho have done well kept talking about Kaplan 800 book. I need help guys. I am takingthe test again on the 8th.

Sorry to hear about your situation. What is your target GMAT score? If it's in the 500s, it seems like additional preparation isn't what you need--rather, you would need to focus more on controlling your nerves when you sit down for your actual test.
I don't think the Kaplan 800 book would be of much benefit for you. During the next month of your prep, I would focus on doing a lot of practice with real GMAT questions (OG), reviewing the core lessons in Kaplan and Princeton Review, and doing a LOT of practice tests in simulated environments--try taking your practice GMATs in places outside your house, like the library or even a cafe.
Best of luck!
