to start of with : YOU ARE NOT DUMB
If you keep thinking you're dumb, then there is nothing you can do to solve the problem.
let me give you a few reasons, based only and solely on your short post, why I'm sure you are NOT dumb:

- You came to the right place, the GMAT club, and this indicates you decent intellectual abilities.
- you are asking for help and did not give up easily and decide to forget about your MBA or whatever degree you want to persue with your GMAT score.
I
can see a few mistakes already that you have made so far:
- You took the Kaplan course. BIG MIStAKE !!!
- you took the GMATprep and scored 460 and GMAT prep is the most accurate practice test available. You should have known you were likely to score around 460 on the real test.
What can you do now?
calm down .. take a deep breath .. know that the GMAT is not about how much time and effort you put in studying, it's more of WHERE to spend time and effort preparing for the GMAT !
