Dear all,
I took my GMAT yesterday and scored a modest 640. (IR 4 , Q48 , V29). I am upset with my score because I had been scoring higher on all my mock exams. My mock scores are as follows:
1) GmatPrep 1 - 650 (Q48, V31)
2) GmatPrep 2 - 700 (Q48 , V37)
3) GmatPrep 3 - 720 (Q50, V38)
4) GmatPrep 4 - 700 (Q49 , V35)
5) GmatPrep 5 - 670 (Q47 , V35)
6) GmatPrep 6 - 650 (Q49 , V30)
I gave all my tests in real test conditions. Though, I suffered a score drop in the last two tests, the score of 640 is lower than my lowest score !
Needless to say I am disappointed , but nevertheless determined to avenge the GMAT. Experts, please share your thoughts. I am open to the idea of a paid one-on-one counseling as I need to discuss my profile too in addition to my GMAT test mistakes.
Awaiting your suggestions & inputs ....

Hi spetznaz,
First off, a 640/Q48 is a strong score (it's right around the 80th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:
ask-admission-consultants-124/
Since you referenced your prior CAT scores, I have a few questions about how you took those CATs:
1) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?
2) Did you take them at home?
3) Did you take them at the same time of day as your Official GMAT?
4) Did you ever do ANYTHING during your CATs that you couldn't do on Test Day (pause the CAT, skip sections, take longer breaks, etc.)?
5) Did you ever take a CAT more than once? Had you seen any of the questions BEFORE?
In addition...
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
