At what point is retaking completely pointless?

I would say that most people feel that they could’ve done better after walking out of the test center… it’s just a feeling however 😂


You are asking a very good question. There are a few perspectives.

First, There is more to consider other than just effort. There’s also regret and that’s probably one of the bigger reasons people retake it because it’s opportunity limited by time and if they don’t do it now they will regret it later so even if the score doesn’t improve, it’s still not wasted so to speak because at least it addresses doubts and future regret.

Second, is this the best use of your time and is there anything else you can do to strengthen your application? If you have nothing else to do, then you may as well try retaking the test but if you still need to do out of work in the applications or you can improve your standing in other ways, then you may want to pursue those areas.
