­Hi, I recently gave GMAT Focus and scored 565 (56th percentile) which is below my expectations. I have following questions :-
I got 675 on official mock test 3 days before exam and 565 on actual exam.
Can I at least achieve >=655 by July end if I reappear on GMAT again?

Please suggest resources or tips. I am planning round 1 2025 intake. I have the top 1% content with me.

Hi, if you have consistently scored between 655-675 on your mocks , you might just have a bad day. Try taking 1 or 2 mocks to see if you are able to score within the same range, and then give the test again. I hope you took the tests in real exam timed conditions.

­Hi aasthavyas,

Based on how you scored on your latest practice exam, I do think you can achieve your goal score. That said, since this post have you taken any additional practice exams?
