ACTUAL EXAM
Q 29 , V 14
I TOOK THE EXAM IN OFFICIAL CONDITIONS AND WHILE PRACTICING I TIMED EVERY QUESTION.
MATERIAL I USED FOR PRACTICE
OG12 , OG13 ,GMAT CLUB.
but i did finish the exam 5 mins in hand.i felt the questions being thrown at me were very easy.and at the end of the quant section i felt i was as good mentally as i was at the beginning of the exam.i was trying everything to avoid anxiety.i think that could have led to problems.i just did not want to spend all my energy on quants so that i have some left for verbal section.
On verbal section i seriously have no clue as to what could have gone wrong.i want to know what went wrong there but i really dont know...please suggest

I'm sorry that you had a disappointing test day.

What material did you use to learn how to get better at the test? (The three sources you cited contain practice problems but not lessons designed to teach you how to get better at the GMAT.)

Please take a look at the article below and let me know if you think any of these conditions applied to you:

Next, read these two articles:

Then, use the below to analyze your most recent MGMAT CATs (this should take you a minimum of 1 hour):

Based on all of that, figure out your strengths and weaknesses and develop any hypotheses you can as to what might have gone wrong on the real test. Then come back here and tell us; we'll tell you what we think and we'll discuss further. (Note: do share an analysis with us, not just the raw data. Part of getting better is developing your ability to analyze your results - figure out what they mean and what you think you should do about them!)
