Unpleasantly surprised

I took the GMAT today got a 550!? I have absolutely no idea what happend. I felt somewhat nervous throughout the entire Math section. The Verbal section seemed extremely easy, and I was confident in my answer choices. However, when I saw a 25 verbal pop up on the screen I felt my heart drop down to my stomach. What happend?! Here are my most recent practice test results:

Manhattan GMAT 580
Manhattan GMAT 600
GMAC 610
Manhattan GMAT 640 - 1 week before the test

I thought based on these scores that I would score at least a 590 or so. I honestly don't even know where I went wrong on verbal. I felt very confident on the whole section. I didn't rush, I checked my answers, and I used the techniques gained through the online class. I haven't scored that low on any MGMAT practice test including the one I took when I first found this site. This is very discouraging and any advice would be appreciated.
