What does test anxiety really look like on the GMAT? For many test takers, it does not look like a panic attack. Instead, it shows up as brain fog, rereading, negative comparisons, mental noise....

Hi,
I have my exam scheduled 9 days from now and recently took a Veritas mock scoring a 620( Q47,V32) upon analysis I found it's more of a practice issue than the concept.
Aiming for atleast 700+(Q50,V41).
Should I reschedule my exam for month and work on practicing.
Applying in Round 2 for Tepper, Mendoza, Schulich, HEC and NUS.
Please suggest.

Hi Ricsi,
If this 620 is your best CAT score so far, then you will likely need another 2 months of consistent, guided study to raise that score to a 700+. This is meant to say that pushing back your Test Date so that you can continue to study would be a good idea.
Before I can offer you any additional advice on how to improve, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?
Goals:
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi Ricsi,
GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability. Assuming a similar 'swing' in how your CATs function, your last 2 CAT score results show that you essentially performed the same each time (620 +/- a few points). These scores show that you handle certain aspects of the GMAT consistently well, but you also make certain consistent mistakes. To hit your goal score, you're going to have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. Thankfully, you have enough time before the Round 2 application deadlines to hone the necessary skills, but you will have to be really efficient with your studies going forward. A 700+ is essentially the 90th percentile - meaning that 90% of Test Takers will never score that high regardless of how long they study or the number of times that they take the GMAT. You cannot study "off and on" and expect to hit that score; you have to commit to consistent, guided study.
There's certainly no harm in taking the GMAT as scheduled, but you'll almost certainly have to take the Test again later on. By rescheduling, you can save some money and some aggravation, but that decision is ultimately up to you.
1) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?
