Hi everyone,
My GMAT is currently scheduled a week from today and I am trying to determine if I should reschedule it. My goal is a 700. Here are my last few practice test scores:
-680 (42Q/40V)
MGMAT-640 (37Q/40 V) GMATPrep
-660 (41Q/40V) GMATPrep
A few other factors I am considering in this decision:
- I've already taken the test twice officially (once completely cold because I needed the score for admission to an organization, and another time where I cancelled the score because I scored 640)
- I've been studying for this test for quite awhile, and worry that if I keep pushing it back I'll burn out
- I am not sure how AOs view people who take the test more than 3 times.
I am aware that rescheduling at this time would cost $250. would appreciate any guidance/advice anyone has to offer!
Some people peak in the actual test conditions and some people crumble - so your actual score can be anywhere in between the 600 - 700 range. To be honest, I wouldn't be very hopeful of a 700+ score with these practice scores, but, as I said, some people peak in actual test conditions. If you are one of those, you might just make the 700 cut.
So what would I suggest you to do? - If finances are not tight, take the test and cancel the score if you get less than your target score. The score report will not reflect cancelled scores but you will get a great practice run (albeit an expensive one!)
If finances are tight, decide according to this - do you perform very well under pressure? If yes, it might be worth a shot to take the test.
