I scheduled my GMAT exam thinking that I would be ready. It is too late to reschedule since the fee would be the equivalent of scheduling another exam.
My practice exam came out at 400. My question is should I sit for the exam and in the event the score is really low I have the option to cancel it? Or should I leave
a low score on my record since it is the first time I take the test? Alternatively, I can just cancel the test date altogether and reschedule when I am ready. What sould I
do?

Hi gmatboy79,
You ask some important questions. To figure out the best course of action though (including how you should continue to study), you need to provide a bit more information:
1) What is your score goal?
2) How long have you been studying?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
4) Is this the only practice CAT that you took?
Since you've already paid for the Test, there's no harm in taking it. Going through the entire Test Day "event" should help you to be better prepared for when you retake it.

Hi Rich,
I answered your questions below:
1) What is your score goal?
The school I am applying does not have a minimum score. However the profile of students who qualify for a scholarship has been between a 630-680.
Obviously, the higher the score the more financial aid is awarded. The average gmat score for current students is 596. I think a minimum score of 600
would get me into the school but I am shooting for 650+ .
2) How long have you been studying?
I have been studying for two months. I took a prep course which I did not feel was very effective. I've been out of school for some time
and the math concepts were a little rusty. The course focused on solving problems as opposed to teach concepts and strategies. Without knowing the concepts I felt a lost. Therefore, it was not very useful. I then used an online gmat prep which was more effective. I have not followed a strict study plan and in reading some of the blogs this would be key to success.
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
I was hoping to apply for Fall 2015. I can apply as late as June/July. However, if I can't get a realistic score by my deadline I may have to postpone.
4) Is this the only practice CAT that you took?
Yes I took this from the GMAC site.
Any additional suggestions of what I should do?
Thanks,
