Hi sr198198,

Now that you've explained your timeline and plans for the next few months, it makes sense that you would take your GMAT before you leave.

The fee to reschedule the exam is $50, but I'm not sure what the "rules" are about switching to a Center in a different country. My guess is that the Customer Support team at www.mba.com would be able to answer any questions that you have on the subject though.

Given that you've already invested in some GMAT resources, you should probably stick with them for these last 20 days. If you find that specific practice questions are giving you trouble, then you should post them in the Forums here.

Thanks Rich. Looks like I am just going to have to power through this and make use of the forums. I wish I was not so easily distracted by the internet :/

Hi sr198198,

Here's something to keep in mind during the remainder of your studies and on Test Day itself: The GMAT gives you the score that you EARN, so EARN IT!!!!

This is meant to say that most of the work on the GMAT isn't that tough, but if you're not willing to do the necessary work to earn the points (re: take notes, label your work, stay organized, etc.), then the GMAT won't give you the score that you want - it'll give you the score that you've earned.

Focus on fixing the silly/little mistakes first - they're the things that kill most Test Takers - and you'd be amazed how quickly your score will improve.
