Rescheduling GMAT

Question

Any advice?

GmatKnightTutor · Answer

Consider taking it, if for nothing else, in a sense as an extra Official Mock. You likely won't receive a refund at this point. Perhaps you do better than you expect. If you do decide to take the test, try to "look forward" to the experience rather than dread it.

In the future, it may be helpful to not take a mock less than 24 hours before your exam. Even if you score above your target score on the mock, doing a full 3-hour exam the day before may impact your performance on test day.

All the best if you take it tomorrow! Some  Quick tips.

Better to take the GMAT! Do not consider the last minute score, be confident and start off the exam day with a fresh mindset!

Hi rockslayer96.

If your GMAT is scheduled for less than 24 hours from now, you can no longer reschedule. So, you may as well take it for practice, and you may even achieve your score goal.

Going forward, your move is to wait to schedule your GMAT until it's pretty clear that you will be ready to achieve your score goal on test day. You can take the GMAT only 5 times in a rolling 12 month period and only 8 times in total. So, all too often people use up their GMAT attempts taking the test when they're not ready.

Hi rockslayer96,

If your Official GMAT is tomorrow, then it's too late to reschedule it (or receive any type of partial refund), but you do have a choice to make.

Each Test-taker is allowed up to 8 total lifetime attempts at the Exam, but this appointment will not count towards that total IF you do not show up to take the Exam. You will still forfeit the Exam fee though. The greater potential benefit would be to take the Exam as scheduled - with the goal of using all of this as a 'trial run' for your second attempt. By taking note of all of the little details of what happens on Test Day, you'll be better able to plan for all of the factors that can impact your next attempt.

Once you have your Unofficial Scores, you can feel free to PM or email me directly and we can discuss the results and how you might best proceed with your studies. For now, you should not do any studying (NO 'cramming' and NO additional CATs/mocks). You would be better served by getting some extra rest, so that you can go into Test Day calm, clear-headed and ready to work.
