You should attempt .
Push yourself and get over your nerves.
It is just an exam.
You will always come out better with experience.
I am not sure but You can always cancel your score.

So go for it.

Best of luck.

Hi madgame,

You've named some highly-competitive Schools, so beyond having a competitive GMAT Score, you will need a strong OVERALL profile AND you'll need to properly 'market yourself' to each individual Program that you apply to. Thankfully, you have plenty of time to do all of that work. Your CAT Scores also show that you have the ability to learn and improve - which is good. After you've taken the Official GMAT on Friday, you should post back here with your results and we can discuss how best to proceed.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Hi madgame,

It’s unlikely that you are going to increase your score by 70 points in the next few days, so I recommend that you take your exam at a later date, once you are hitting your score goal on practice exams. However, if you stick with your current exam date, please reach back out after your exam to let us know how things went.
