nohope

Hey everyone. I am very disappointed with myself and I am not able to face my friends and family :( I will first give you all a glimpse of my background: Indian female, 23 years Bachelors in Microbiology from University of Delhi, India (among the topmost universities in India)- had been university topper once and second topper in college overall. Masters in Biotechnology from All India Institute Of Medical Sciences, India (very reputed institute in India)- second topper Extracurricular activities- fair involved in some social work too Currently working with a small healthcare firm. I took my first GMAT on 27th september 2011, got a mere 610, much below my expectations (670-680)!! So I decided to retake in january Then I retook my second GMAT on 10th january 2012, was about to faint when I saw my score flashing on the screen! Got a 570!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never got below 650 in any of my practice tests!!!! Since yesterday (the day I took my second attempt) I have been feeling so miserable. I am feeling as if I will have a nervous breakdown.... Really do not know where to go, what to do ?? Please suggest me what should I do next ? Please give me some seriously sort out answers, looking at my diverse and good academic background too Thanks

Thanks Brent for the encouragement.. I am building up courage to start the fight again. Hope I succeed. I guess I will have to focus more on time management.

hey!! thank God m not the only one.. i also took the gmat yesterday and faced the same shock!! verbal killed me! got a 610!!!! was getting 680-700 in mock tests... im still in nervous breakdown as im a person with a good academic background.. just chillax... may be it was a bad day!! dont loose hope.. regain ur confidence... take a break im planning to review my mistakes, going to work on my reading speed.. vil refer to the best study material -manhattan sc, powerscore bible for cr and rc99 all the best.. dont worry we are in the same boat...

i took the gmat today got a miserable 610 (49,24) lowest among all my mock scores... please help me.. i am a person with good academic background n i am not able to take such a failure. really didnt expect a 24 in verbal!!!!! its a shame:(( my mock scores were as follows : MGMAT free-670 MGMAT CAT2-680 MGMAT CAT3- 700 MGMAT CAT4- 690 GMAT PREP 1-650 GMAT PREP 2- 670 GMAT PREP 1 (REPEAT)-700 study material used- OG12, GMAT PREP, KAPLAN. I never got below 30 on verbal before and was expecting atleast a 670-680!! but 610 has lost all my hopes and i dont know whether il be able to encourage myself to study again.. dont why i panicked myself during verbal but everything was going well until the last 10 questions how can one rely on mock test scores then? how wil i b able to build up courage to take a test again after 2 months!
