Had a bad mock 7 days before my exam. Should I reschedule? 14 Dec 2024, 15:43

Here's a print of my journey so far with GMAT Focus.

As the title says, I did my last mock today and scored 625. While it's not that bad, considering that my target is 635~645, the Q77 is disappointing. I feel that maybe I did not evolve on Quant over the last months after taking the test, despite putting in hundreds of hours of study, which sucks.

Maybe I was on a bad day, but I was not feeling anxious or nervous. It could be that some unconscious factor took place, but I think it's just my inability to do well in math.

Any insight? I would really appreciate

No, don't. You are at your target score. There are a few things that you need to pay attention to. If you do, you should be fine.
Pay attention to the order in which you are taking the sections. Start with Quant so that you get medium level questions to begin with. If you find a question exceptionally hard, mark it for review and move on. Also, if there are certain gaps in some concepts, fix them in the next 4-5 days.

Thanks for the reply Karishma!

I was indeed planning (and practicing) to start with Verbal, which is my comfort zone, to avoid doing Quant with the anxiety of starting the test, lack of rhythm, etc. The order of the sections influences the level of the questions I will receive? If I do well in Verbal, the first Quant questions I will receive will be Hard questions?

Hi Gustavoncf,

I know you're looking at quant, but I just wanted to say that those are some really good verbal scores!

For what it's worth, I think you should go ahead with this appointment. Reschedule only if there's some kind of issue with a deadline and the 16-day waiting period.

Hi Gustavoncf,

It sounds like you’ve put in an incredible amount of work and dedication over the past few months, and while this last mock score feels disappointing, I encourage you not to let it shake your confidence or derail your plans. One lower-than-expected score is not a reflection of your overall ability or preparation—it’s likely that you just had a bad day. This happens to everyone, even after hundreds of hours of effort.

You’ve shown consistency and growth throughout your journey, and now it’s time to trust the work you’ve already put in and take the test. Rescheduling might seem tempting, but it’s important to recognize that you are closer to your target score than you think, and one mock doesn’t define your readiness. Go into test day with confidence in your preparation and abilities—you’ve earned that trust in yourself.
