Hi Manugc9719,
Sorry to hear that you were not able to hit your target. Some considerations:
1. Were you under any sort of stress or were you sick - was there something going on that could have affected your peak performance? If yes, then retaking the test ASAP is ok, since that might have just been an off day.
2. If you don't believe there were significant external contributors on the day you took the test, you will have to consider the fact that the mock scores were inaccurate, somehow (I cannot imaging how, but that is the only other conclusion.).
3. In this case, I would advise you to take mocks from a different test prep provider.
4. Prepare a new plan (you may need more time than 20 days), prepare, and then crack the test.
Best,
Karthik

Hi,
So I've been preparing for the GMAT focus for about 4 months now, I took the real test on Saturday and did very low in comparison to the GMAC mocks I took in the past. I additionally would like some guidance on how to improve on quant? I got over 50% of the questions right, yet I got Q12 (got Q40 in the mocks). I got Q70 in Verbal (vs. a Q96 in the mocks), and a Q73 in Data Insights (same as mocks).
Any advice here? I'm just very confused about the results, as I didn't get that many questions wrong. Maybe the order in which I took the test has something to do?
I plan on taking it again in about 20 days.
