Hi all,
I am looking for advice on how to boost my gmat score. I have been studying since last Oct (on and off) and decided to appear for the actual exam on Aug on which I managed to obtain Q42 V30 (590), which is my lowest score since April. The scores of my recent mocks are as follows:
GMAT Official Practice Exam 2: Q43 V33 (620) - July 6
GMAT Official Practice Exam 5: Q41 V32 (610) - July 27
GMAT Official Practice Exam 3: Q47 V37 (680) - July 28
GMAT Official Practice Exam 6: Q39 V38 (640) - Aug 5
As you can see there has been a fair bit of inconsistency in my performance on the mock exams. The approach I had taken was to identify and work on the areas where I struggled in the mock exams. I admit I was a bit frazzled during the actual exam as I had had my performance review (difficult conversation) with my line manager two days before the exam. Secondly, I was a taken aback by the score on Aug 5 after hitting a 680 a week earlier. The testing environment wasn't ideal - a portable AC was right next to my face because of which I was a) freezing b) a loud whirring sound was quite distracting. It is possible that I maybe using the above to justify the low score to myself and I may not have been as well prepared as I should have been. I would like advice on how I should leverage the enhanced score report which I had ordered and strategy, timeline to sit for the next exam pls. IMO, I can sit for the next exam within the month considering my target score is anywhere between 680-700. I wouldn't want to drag it on for any longer as ideally I would like to submit my apps in R1.
Also, I have sent my scores to the schools I will be applying to. For me to stand a good chance with my target schools, I need a min. 680. Would you recommend I go ahead and submit application with a 590 as well as date for next sitting of the GMAT?
Apologies for this long drawn out post, would appreciate your input and advice.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey,
Sad to hear your bad test day experience. Yes, I would suggest you retake your GMAT, depending on the average score of the school you are applying to. You should definitely order your ESR for better analysis.
