I think you will need to take a GMAT Focus Practice test to answer that question. Should be straightforward enough.
You have to wait 16 days between online and in person tests. New rule since April 2023 (unannounced) but ChatGPT would not have accurate answers since its data is based on older information.

P.S. You can go into the system and see if it allows you booking a test sooner but it is rare to take a test 1 week apart and get a very different score. Rare but not unheard of. We have had people with bad days and improving quite a bit but their "bad" days were supported by strong practice tests scores. If your practice score is 650, you get 610 on the test day, then you can't expect a 720 on a retake a week later

Also, I wanted to ask if you can guide me that if I am not satisfied with my score on 24th and I want to try again, then is GMAT focus a better option for me or Executive assessment test ?
The answer depends on which one your target schools accept.

bb, I have heard that some people have booked a test sooner, taken the test, and then had their scores cancelled because they didn't wait 16 days.

I realize it's ridiculous that the system allows people to do something they are not supposed to do, but that's what I've heard.

Thank you Marty. If that is the case, then maybe booking another test is not a good idea of testing the policy….

I believeb.a.com is fairly clear about the 16 day waiting period. So perhaps we can go from that…

Thankyou so much for your response sir.
I am currently getting 600 consistently on my mocks, I will try my best to cross 650 on 24th january anyways. If I get it, then I will apply.
My main interest lies in getting into a good reputed college like London business school, insead, oxford, etc. I will apply for both MIM & MBA.
If not, then I will try reattempting with GMAT focus. Problem lies in GMAT focus is that verbal has only RC & CR. I feel it would be tougher then GMAT old version.

The questions may be tougher, but the scoring is easier. So, overall, the new Verbal may be about the same as or easier than the old one.

If the questions are tougher then how is the scoring easier ? I didn't get it.
Also, the gmat score in focus edition will comprise from IR, Maths & english right ?

You can score higher with a certain number of missed questions than you could on the classic edition.

Consider checking out Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for CR. For RC, becoming familiar with how inference questions work could be helpful.

All the best with your exam.

Thanks for the clarity sir. I was clearly told on call recently by a GMAC customer care executive that there is no waiting period between offline & online gmat format. That is the reason I booked my gmat offline exam on 24th january else I would have booked it on 14th jan only so i could give another online exam on 31st january.

Also, I wanted to ask if you can guide me that if I am not satisfied with my score on 24th and I want to try again, then is GMAT focus a better option for me or Executive assessment test ?

I agree with bb that taking a practice focus exam is the best move to see where you are at.
