Hi Everyone,
I accelerated my timeline for the GMAT Test. I gave myself about a month to prep, in hopes of actually being ready in that time. Well I made a lot of progress on the quantitative sections, but not for the verbal, reasoning, or short essay practice. I have not even taken a full practice exam yet and my test is on Saturday. All this is good and dandy, I will just reschedule the test. Wrong! They charge $250 to reschedule at this point, or basically the price of the test. So my question is should I reschedule or should I just take the test, see what I get first?
I want to get into a top-tier program and currently I currently have 2 years work experience as a sales engineer in the nanotechnology sector. I am undecided on what year and what schools to apply to because I was going to see how high my score is.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Bradenaa,
There are administrative rules about rescheduling your GMAT exam. If you choose to reschedule, then there is a $50 fee, BUT you must go through the rescheduling process at least 7 full days in advance of your Exam. This means that you're 'stuck' paying this current $250 fee (whether you take the GMAT or not). Here are your options though:
1) Take the GMAT as scheduled. There's really no harm in doing so (since you can cancel your scores if you want; even if you don't cancel, Business Schools don't care if you take the GMAT more than once).
2) Don't take the GMAT. There's no harm/penalty for not showing up, you just forfeit the fee.
You've come to realize that studying for the GMAT is a bigger task than you originally thought it was. You will likely find it beneficial to take this GMAT, even though you'll likely end up taking it again. The 'experience' of going through Test Day should help you to be better prepared for your second attempt. If you do end up taking it, you should be sure to remember your Scores; those specific numbers will help to determine what you should be focused on during your next round of studies.
What is your goal score?
What materials have you used during your studies?

Hi Rich,
Great number one it is. This is reassuring, as I was going to go this direction as long as schools won't hold a bad score over my head. Setting that near term test date really did a great job at catalyzing this process. I think even now, I see the kind of time and preparation I will need. Who knows, maybe I will come out of the test this Saturday with a fairly positive score (well... at least it will be informative).
I would like to score 730 or above.
