Exam Anxiety

Hi madgmat2019,

Back in early September, you noted that you had taken the Official GMAT and were disappointed in the result. There could be any number of factors that are currently impacting your performance - so rather than asking for general advice (and hoping that it can help you), we should define exactly how you're studying and what you might not be doing correctly. By addressing those issues, you'll have a better chance to eliminate the stresses that you're referring to and hit your Goal Score. The first step in handling this is if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How did you score on the Official GMAT (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
2) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
3) What study materials have you used so far?
4) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
5) What is your overall goal score?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

You might choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.
