Hi! I've completed my 3rd GMAT test in a period of 3 months now, and am honestly exhausted of it. First up, I'll give a debrief on my score.
First Exam (after a solid prep. of 2 months)
Q 78
V 79
DI 77
Total: 565
Second Exam (2 more months later)
Q 80 (was a little bamboozled with 3 mistakes)
V 76
DI 71
Total: 515
Third Exam (20 days after)
Q 65 (was honestly just exhausted and ended up not finishing the section. Had a mishap too where my booklet had run out of pages and the test center folks were busy chatting away to notice immediately.)
V 78
DI 80
Total: 495
(Awaiting official score report - the test center wasn't able to validate the end of my test and couldn't give me an acknowledgement, but they apparently confirmed via phone that my exam has been recorded and I should receive an email from GMAC on the same.)
Following my first exam, I've just not been able to string together a consistent set of scores. My mocks have ranged from 625 to 685 on the official mocks.
If taken sectionally, my highest scores are Q80 (64%ile) | V79 (48%ile) | DI80 (86%ile) - resulting in either 585/595 per the score calculator on gmatclub forum.
I'm honestly targeting 3 schools now from my earlier list - ISB, INSEAD, LBS. Do you think there's any chance schools would consider the sectional highs and the overall highest of 565; or are these scores too dispersed to be considered by them?
If I'm gonna give this exam again, I don't see myself doing it in the next month because I'm definitely exhausted. I may look at doing it only for the next admission cycle as meeting R2 deadlines feels near impossible now.
Would appreciate any thoughts on what can be done in this scenario. Thank you!

If you’re consistently scoring 625-685 in official mocks, you need to figure out why this isn’t translating to your real tests. Are you simulating the exam conditions—same order, breaks, etc.?
If you’re exhausted, I recommend taking a break for a few days or even going on a holiday to reset. Also, you seem to have issues across all three sections and are missing easy questions. Address these gaps systematically to improve your score.

Take a break, and then when you begin...
Attempt questions using Forum Quiz. As you keep getting confident on lower difficulty levels, start increasing the difficulty of questions.
All the Best.
