Why did you take the focus with a 780? 😵
Hey bb, Thank you!! I didn't take it twice! I only took the Focus edition and that's what I put in but for some reason, it automatically shows Gmat Classic as well. I just gave the focus edition 2 weeks ago - never gave the Classic one. Maybe a mistake I made?
PS. HSW are always in the sky. it’s hard to estimate those chances so you just have to go for it 🙈
