I know 2 people who thought exactly the same way taht you thought.

Both shared me their thoughts that they were in dilema whether to cancel the score, fearing for low scores. For some unknown reasons, they clicked not to cancle the score and fortunately got 660 and 710. You never know!

Canceling the score is not always the best way. Doing so, you prevent your level in gmat prep.

Good luck..

To be completely honest, I figured I'd end up with some kind of score, maybe 400-500 range, if that...versus the reality of possibly getting a score worse than I counted or antipated. In other words, I was scared I'd do worse than I wanted. If I would've gotten a baaaad score it would've discouraged me rather than not knowing, in a sense, I have a clean slate to only work up from.

Basically fear.

Sorry to post this here... can anyone link me to an Application Essay thread on this forum?

I have a question on my application for the essay part I'd like some light shed on. Thanks.

Then I'll ask it here since I haven't gotten a link to an App essay thread.

I have a question I don't know how detailed or how general my answer should be.

The question is as follows: What are your future career plans?

Now, I don't know exactly how far "into the future" I should discuss, or my specific job title, so on and so forth... any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

After going over the Kaplan Math Workbook, it's a fine book with in depth steps. What is missing from the book are probabilites, combinations, permutations type problems.

Is there another book I can pick up for these type of problems (asides from OG12)?

Or would it be best to dive into the math forum and pick up those type of problems?

First of all, I also had some trouble with P&C.

Take a look at Walker's guide

combinations-permutations-and-probability-references-56486.html

I think people on this forum recommended MGMAT Word Translations for P&C. Hope this helps

So it would be best to just work on problems from the forum rather than get a book. Thanks.

I really don't get people who cancel their scores. It's a sunk cost, so why not take advantage of the salvage value (i.e. the practice and experience). I didn't feel like my test went well, but I wasn't going to cancel by any means. When you cancel you get nothing for your money.
