What is the best way in your personal experience to review and prepare the strategy in case of a retake needed? I mean, cause we can't review the oficial test, right? So how to prepare the strategy for study to a retake?
I related funny story to the question refresh and changes and all of that good stuff and retakes. One of the moderators was taking the new GMAT when it went online right after pandemic. Signed up for both GMAT and executive assessment just to take them and see how they work and do it for fun. He was already done with his gmat and got a 760 so these exams were just for fun
He took the online GMAT and then went to take the executive assessment online and the funny part was that it had almost the same questions as his gmat test despite taking about 50 to 60% of the questions overlapped between two exams, he did not get an amazing score because he still had to solve every one of those questions. He didn’t know the answers or he couldn’t remember them exactly. So it was funny that even taken an exam with a lot of the questions did not help all that much at that level.
Ideally, you would not have to retake. I would plan not to retake if you can so you have one shot and you don’t have to waste resources.
However, it’s a good idea to usually plan or have a backup plan so don’t use Apple all of the official Jim at prep exams and leave at least two official attempts such as the entirety of exam six or five (you can take each twice).
Retake is different story for a lot of people because you have to see what’s wrong and adjust your approach that way. I would say GMAT prep should be personalized by you as much as possible - you want to ask yourself every day if you’re learning something and if what you did today was effective or if there is anything else you can change or improve
