July 30th is three days from now. Whatever you are scoring right now is what you should expect to score on the real test. I know that's now what you want to hear, but better to face reality and deal with it accordingly.
It's too late to reschedule your test for the $50 fee; you will lose the whole $250. So you might as well just go in and take the test to get the experience / practice. If you really don't like your scores at the end, you can cancel them and the schools won't even know you were at the test center that day. (We recommend doing this only if the scores are 100+ points below your desired goal.) Read here for more on how score cancellation works:
https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog ... d-to-know/There is nothing attached to your post (you refer to a graph), but we actually don't download attachments anyway for security reasons. Basically, you need to tell us any relevant data in your post, as well as your own analysis of that data.
On quant, your analysis has shown that you're making lots of careless mistakes. You also mention timing. Is this what's happening? You earn some very hard questions, then spend too much time on them (and maybe get them wrong anyway). Then, in order to catch up, you rush on others that you know how to do and you make careless mistakes on some of them.
If this is what's happening, then you need to change your mindset. The GMAT is not about the # of questions that you get right. It's about having a steady performance across the section and not missing too many lower-level questions. You can get the really hard ones wrong and still get a good score. Miss too many of the easier ones, though, and your score will drop.
First, read these two articles (read the first one every day until your brain starts to use that mindset naturally when doing a set of GMAT problems):

Then, use the below to analyze your most recent MGMAT CATs (this should take you a minimum of 1 hour):
http://tinyurl.com/analyzeyourcatsBased on all of that, figure out your strengths and weaknesses as well as any ideas you have for what you think you should do. Then come back here and tell us; we'll tell you whether we agree and advise you further. (Note: do share an analysis with us, not just the raw data. Your analysis should include a discussion of your buckets - you'll understand what that means when you read the last article. 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!)
Next, I'll make a prediction about CR: you do sometimes pick the right answer...but you don't notice, because when you go to look at the answers after, you got that one right! You only really notice the ones that you missed, so now you think that you always get them wrong when you've narrowed to 50/50. :S
So, first, know that it's not that bad.
When you're reviewing verbal, review everything. Identify ALL of the questions on which you narrowed to two and guessed, even when you guessed right. And answer these questions:
1) why was the wrong answer so tempting? why did it look like it might be right? (be as explicit as possible; also, now you know this is not a good reason to pick an answer)
2) why was it actually wrong? what specific words indicate that it is wrong and how did I overlook those clues the first time?
3) why did the right answer seem wrong? what made it so tempting to cross off the right answer? why were those things actually okay; what was my error in thinking that they were wrong? (also, now you know that this is not a good reason to eliminate an answer)
4) why was it actually right?
