GMAT Timing (Online Test)

Question

I took the GMAT online-version this past week and didn't perform particularly well. I'm gearing up for a February 11 application deadline. If I'm hoping to take the online test a second time before applying, what's the latest I could possibly take it? Do I just need to give time to get my official score (so 7-10 days before the deadline)? I was hoping to take the test the week of January 11, if that would provide sufficient cushion.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Hey - You can definitely give the online test on Jan 11. It takes around 3-4 days for the score, but you can self report it for your feb 11 deadline application

The online test results are usually out in 3 to 4 business days, but there are certain cases where the score delayed for more than 2 weeks, but the are exceptions, so its always best to plan considering worst case scenario's, but considering that you have around 4 weeks from your planned GMAT Date and application deadline, i think you should be good for Jan 11.

All the very best for your GMAT and applications.

Hi bmears5594,

If you take your test the week of January 11th you'll have plenty of time to get in your score prior to your deadline. Also, if you need any advice regarding your retake, feel free to reach out.

Hi bmears5594,

Many GMATers who take the At-home version of the Exam receive their Official Scores in 2-3 days (although some have to wait up to a week and in some cases even longer). Currently, GMAC limits each Test-taker to just 2 attempts at the At-home Exam, so since you've already taken it once you have just one more opportunity to take the GMAT in that format. This is meant to say that you might not want to 'rush in' to take the Exam if you not scoring close to your Goal Score on your practice CATs/mocks.

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How did you score on your Official GMAT (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
2) How long have you studied so far? 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) What School(s) are you planning to apply to and what are the specific application deadlines for each?
