Reschedule or not ?? [#permalink] New post   01 Oct 2022, 04:33
Hi,

I started preparing for GMAT in june 2022 and gave my first attempt in Aug22, which went terrible I was able to score just 420 despite getting 560 in official mock.

After that I scheduled my exam for October 2022, prepared from Magoosh & OG & have been doing TTP from last 25 days. I took the other free mock and scored 540 (Q44 and V20) .

I am not aiming much high I am an average student , i am targeting for 650 to get into decent canadian bschools.

Please suggest me that shall i reschedule my exam after a month or just give this attempt as i am planning for R2 , which is having deadlines in mid of jan23 for most of the schools.

Please suggest what to do

Hi Lakshaygmat.

You have about 100 points to go to get to your goal. Normally, people need more than a month to achieve a 100-point increase. So, probably you should push your test back at least a month.

Also, since you have a lot of room to increase your verbal score, I recommend reading the following post to develop a clearer understanding of how to prepare for verbal effectively.

Ideally, you would wait to schedule your test until you were at or close to your score goal.

For instance, if you were scoring in the 600s on practice tests, you might schedule your test for a few weeks out, operating under the assumption that you would get to your score goal by test day. Alternatively, you could wait until you scored 650 on one or more practice tests to schedule your test.

At this point, though, you have to push back the date of the test you already scheduled. So, you have to choose a date without knowing exactly when you'll be ready. Maybe you should shoot for the third week in November. You may be ready by then.

A good sign a student is ready for an exam is two consistent Official Mocks that hit their target score. With a Q44, you may need a V36 to comfortably hit 650+
