Hi Everyone!! I hope you all are doing great. A few days back, I gave my GMAT exam but end it by scoring only 500. I'm 30 minutes late on centre due to some uncertain reasons. I panicked and messed my GMAT exam for which I studied a lot and gave many mocks and scored an averagely of 650-670. Now, I'm losing my confidence and I don't know what to do. I thought to give my next attempt after a month and on online mode. Please give your valuable thoughts and IS there any difference between the online and offline GMAT exam, I meant to say in difficulty level and all. please help me out.

Hi Apurv14,
I'm sorry to hear that Test Day did not turn out better. If you were 30-minutes late for your Test appointment, then that could have certainly caused some extra stress on Test Day, but that's not enough to explain a 150-point drop in your Overall Score - so we will have to consider some other potential factors. 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:
Studies:
1) What were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for your Official GMAT?
2) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
3) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
4) 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)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Quants- 35-40
Verbal- 17-20
I studied 5 months and 4-5 hours per day constant.
I used OG2020, Kaplan Mocks scored 650-670 in every mock.
I planned for the same 650-700 score and for MIM in WHU, ESCP, SDA, ESADE, ESSEC.
