Hi to everyone,
I´m in big trouble. Already took the GMAT five times in less than a year, and still didn´t get more than 600 points. My latest attempt was my highest score, exactly 600 (Q46,V27). In September `15 and October `15 I cancelled two attempts of 500 points and since then my trend has been 550 in December, 570 in January and 600 in February. Therefore, It seems that on the sixth attempt I should get more than 600 points. But as you may know GMAT only allow you to do 5 attempts in twelve months, which I already did. I am applying to start a master in September, but with a 600 GMAT it seems pretty tough to get in. So, I would like to know what you guys would do in my case, I can´t lose another year. My plan is to write to GMAC, and request them about an extra attempt taking in to account that I cancelled two of them, and that, my trend shows that one extra attempt would be enough to get a score between 610 and 650, which would allow me to start a master in September. So, what do you think, guys?
Thank you for your help.
PS: I had no idea of this rule, till I´ve tried to book my sixth attempt. Knowing before this rule I would not have done those stupid attempts in September and October ´15

I've only ever heard about the GMAT making exceptions. Unfortunately, I don't think they'll make one in this case. Doesn't hurt to try though.

Hi doctorjimmy,
Since the 'frequency' rules are fairly well-established (they go back YEARS), it's not likely that GMAC will make an exception, but there's certainly no harm in asking.
There is a broader point to consider though, based on your scores. GMAC has publicly stated that a Test Taker's Official Score is within +/- 30 points of actual ability. Scores of 550, 570 and 600 all 'revolve' around 570-580, so in real basic terms these 3 performances are essentially the SAME performance (+- a few correct answers on certain questions). As such, your conclusion that you're on an 'upswing' isn't necessarily accurate - and it's quite likely that you'd score in the 550-600 range if you took the GMAT again.
1) What School/Program are you planning to apply to?
2) When is the application deadline?
3) Why do you think you need a 610-650 to get into this School?
