Re-attempt after 420 ??

no i have not taken any mock , as i have just one official mock left so i have kept it if in case i go for a re-take.

I think buying one or two official practice tests would be a good investment. They'll give you a reasonably accurate indication of whether you're adequately prepared for your retake.

Hi Lakshaygmat,

I'm sorry to hear that Test Day didn't go as well as planned. When these types of score drops occur, the two likely "causes" involve either something that was unrealistic during practice or something that was surprising (or not accounted for) on Test Day. Before we discuss any of those potential issues though, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) How many hours did you typically study each week?
2) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
3) What specific application deadlines are you facing?

If you took your Official GMAT at a Test Center, then you might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.

Hi,
Thanks for such an informative reply.
As per your questions would like to inform you that
1) i studied almost 20 hours per week.
2) I took all the Mocks/Cats within 15 days before the exam
3) I am targeting for canadian bschools

It is necessary to complete the curriculum of atleast one test prep company (the concepts part). It is not enough to do it partly. Gmat has a heavy penalty for missing easy questions so we should ensure that we are able to tackle easy questions of every topic. So the basics of every topic must be covered even if advanced applications are ignored. That itself will lead to a score of 600+.

Dear Aarya20,
I also used some materials and video lessons, but such approach did not bring me the visible result. The issue is that reading the materials and learn from them are two different things.
I concur with KarishmaB, there are abundance of platforms that provide quant and verbal course, and reviews most of them are presented here. I would suggest to take TTP course, because its well organized study plan and unique approach already have helped me to ameliorate my Quant score.

Hi Lakshaygmat,

So, the main issue I'm seeing is that on your practice exams you were scoring an average of 560 but were then shooting for 620 on the actual test. So, I don't think you should give up on the GMAT but rather you need to think about pushing to a later deadline. The fact is you may need another 2 to 3 months of prep to hit your score goal.
