Psychology of the exam

I think I messed up owing to following reasons.
(1) loosing my cool during the math section, and guessing on too many questions due to lack of time.
(2) Doing really good on SC, but doing blunders in the initial sections of the test on Critical reasoning questions, and doing pathetically on Reading comprehension questions, not being attentive enough to focuss throughout the verbal question, for verbal I need to be extremely alert in order to succeed.

Only a few weeks to go before my 4'th Attempt at GMAT, I am doing timed practise, you can't shy away from yes/no DS, and inequalities, along with absolute value questions. If you do them well, you can be assured of a 48 in Math... which is all you need really, and in order to get a verbal above 40, you need to be extremely fresh, not tired, and extremely focussed, and practise better techniques on tough CR, where you falter, and practise more RC, under timed conditions. Give GMAT PREP couple of more times. My timetable is under preparation.

I hope now that you have analyzed your mistakes, you must have worked on them. Can you also give tips on what could be done to improve?

I agree that most of the mess caused is due to lack of concentration, and we tend to lose on it towards the end. And I think this goes with every exam of this type..
