The Number One Question This Time of Year
"I want to apply in Round 2 but my GMAT score is below the average for my top school choices. Should I retake?"
Tough question but there's a very efficient way to figure out the answer: Testing Simulation. More below.
Before we get into that, let's look at what you're facing:
1) You've put in lots of study for the GMAT. Online or offline Classes, Tutoring, Prep Tools. You name it.
But you're still falling short on your score.....
2) You have a list of schools you want to apply to, but your GMAT score is below par.
Should you compromise on the schools? Should you hope your other elements will make your application strong enough? Or should you retake the GMAT?
3) You're worried about the timeline. Everyone tells you it's time to shift focus to applications -- getting references, crafting essays answers, networking into the schools and alumni. So if you're going to do something about your GMAT score, it has to happen right now!
So is there a way to figure out positively whether you should retake the GMAT?
First, an important piece of data. Over our work with more than 1200 GMAT retakes, we use more than 20 metrics on a question by question basis to track why clients (especially those over 650 before they come to us) are getting questions wrong. It helps us to significantly focus both coaching sessions and outside-session self study, so prep time drops by 75%.
Here's the amazing statistic:
65% of wrong answers were completely or predominantly the result of weak Test Taking Skills NOT concept knowledge gaps.
65%!!!
Here's the great news. Test Taking Skill Gaps can be fixed fast (days or weeks). Concept gaps take longer.
So back to the main question: Should You Retake the GMAT?
All you need is 1 Testing Simulation Session Live with a Test Taking Skills expert (ie. a GMAT Performance Coach).
If your gaps are in those 20 Test Taking Skills metrics -- then you'll know you can get your target score quickly, with the right help.
Ask your coach or tutor if you have one already. If you don't (or they don't do Testing Simulation), then we offer the diagnostic session for FREE with no obligation.
Either way, we're happy to help if you have questions about making this tough decision. Please message me if you want some guidance.
