Hi,
This is my first post- i just discovered Test magic 10 days before my First GMAT..
I completed OG,took Peterson's tests,did its MAth section,Kaplan English..and after all these efforts over 3 months almost 5 hours a day,ended up with a 570 score

(Q55,V62)...am so disheartened...I also panicked as soon as math section started..and as if my mind was not registering the questions-.I managed do Arithmetic questions (Some ) but on DS-was not even sure i was marking the right ones...and in Verbal had 4 questions remaining when time was almost up...
Erin,Can you please advise as to what i do next...have lot of online tests- should i now focus on time Management and practice different type of questions.Since i did Power prep at the last moment,it was no use(700 and 750 score)coz i knew the answers!it was like fooling myself..i also ended up solving DS questions on last day coz i was so nervous..need some guidance /help from team at this forum on how to start afresh...?plan to take the new date around Nov 10 which should be fine..?Will wait for replies..am really so low -have been a good student,5 years of work ex ..and after all this hard work and efforts..
