Hi SantiMQ11,
I'm sorry to hear that Test Day did not go as well as planned. When these types of score drops occur, the two likely "causes" involve either something that was unrealistic during practice or something that was surprising (or not accounted for) on Test Day. Before we discuss any of those potential issues though, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied in total? How many hours did you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used besides the course that you mentioned?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
If you took your GMAT at a Test Center, then you might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.

Hello,
-I have studied a lot, like 24 hours a week. (Not more because I work).
-I have used this software for prep (Bloomberg GMAT Prep) and 3 practice exams that the platform offer. Also, I have done some exercises and the exam tests from the GMAT official platform but just for practice (this means that those tests were done partially and not emulating the exam day).
- I did the first CAT on January 31 2021(710) Q51 V37
- the second on February 6 2021 (590) this day I had a lot of issues where I was studying, so I thought the result was because I could not concentrate. Q45 V26
- The third was on February 13 2021 (740)
Q51 V41
Goals:
- More than 700
- I plan to apply on 2022 but I am doing it now because of the home office, I have more time to spend studying. I want to apply to the Imperial College London, LSB, Berkeley and Yale. (I am a Latin, so I compete with Latin Americans that’s why with just more than 700 I think it will be enough for the gmat) (of course having good essays, etc)
- unfortunately I did not bought the enhance score report. I don’t know whether I can buy it now.
