Re: Need suggestions for the third attempt. [#permalink]
Hello,
I gave the official test and got the same disappointing score of 590 Q47 V25. The score is similar to my score in the last attempt with the same split.
After spending 4 months of preparation, this was not the score I was expecting.
The mock scores and the official scores have a huge gap.
I have no idea how to go forward from here.
Should I consider switching to GRE or is it just the test day anxiety I need to handle during the test.

Hi gmat108,

Sorry to hear that your test day did not go as planned. I know how bad it feels to not being able to hit the target score inspite of dedicated efforts for a considerable period of time. Let me help you.

I would suggest you to speak to any advanced Strategy Expert as soon as possible to discuss your ESR, whenever available with you, and figure out the exact pain points responsible for holding you back.

Having said that, you can schedule a call with me using the link given below. This way you can take me through the approach being followed by you and provide me with few other important details required for advising you with a revised retake strategy. I have helped many students like you in improving their score by almost 100+ points. Would be happy to help you given the effort you have put in.

Hi Arpit,

I'm really sorry to hear that this 2nd attempt did not turn out better. When we discussed your prior attempt and ESR (back in March) we determined that there were clearly some specific areas that you would need to work on (both in terms of your knowledge of content and Tactics and in terms of how you would need to train to physically take the Test). Over the last 6 months, I'm sure that you developed a number of skills - so the fact that this 2nd result is so similar to your first is a bit surprising. Have you considered purchasing the ESR for this attempt? I ask because having the opportunity to compare the various data points (including your pacing) across the two Exams would likely help to define how you are 'responding' to the Exam - and could be useful even if you switched to the GRE. If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.

For some people, GRE indeed turns out to be a happier hunting ground than GMAT.

However, if you have issues with test day anxiety, that's obviously going to haunt you in GRE as well.
