You need to have strong overconfidence and tackling questions and be in familiar territory so you know what to do when you've eliminated answer choices to 2 and need to decide. One wrong answer in the beginning (what the GMAT considers as "easy" questions) can significantly bring down your score. I would recommend you to tweak your thinking process. Really focus on not just getting an answer correct, but getting it correct through shortcuts/rules of thumb that let you get down to the right answer fast so you can move on. Did you finish the test? The fact that it's a timed test adds significant time pressure. Lastly, I'd recommend you check out the "pills" that we offer - your attack strategy needs to be down solid. Priyanka,
