Hi GMAT Club Experts,
I need advice on whether to reschedule or cancel my upcoming GMAT exam on June 5th. Here’s my situation:
Background:
Recent Official Focus Mock Scores:
My Question: Should I reschedule or cancel my June 5th GMAT exam, or is there a way to effectively improve my time management and score within the limited time left? Also, I am trying to figure out if the score fluctuation is because of my conceptual learning gaps or time management (as I was out of practice for almost 4 months).
Any strategies or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your help.
I need advice on whether to reschedule or cancel my upcoming GMAT exam on June 5th. Here’s my situation:
Background:
- I took the official GMAT Classic last year November and scored 690.
- I believed I could improve my score, so I decided to take the GMAT Focus Edition instead of the classic version.
- My preparation has been inconsistent, which has affected my confidence and performance.
Recent Official Focus Mock Scores:
- 25th December 2023 (Official Practice Test 1)
- Score: 655
- Quant: 84
- Verbal: 82 (CR: 88th, RC: 58th)
- DI: 81
- 16th May 2024 (Official Practice Test 2)
- Score: 585
- Quant: 82
- Verbal: 83 (CR: 83rd, RC: 88th)
- DI: 72
- Missed the last 5 questions, including not answering the last 2 questions
- Most Recent Mock (Official Practice Test 3)
- Score: 615
- Quant: 81
- Verbal: 82 (CR: 83rd, RC: 58th)
- DI: 78
- No time for the last 2 questions
- I’ve noticed a downward trend in my mock scores, which is concerning.
- Time management has been a significant issue, as I have consistently missed completing the last few questions in each section.
- I have only 3 official mocks left before the exam.

If I remember correctly, you would lose more than half the money if you reschedule at this point. What would be the value of rescheduling and not taking the test?
I guess you would save a little bit of money and have one less attempts on your list but it almost sounds like you don’t know when you would be taking the test so there’s a good chance you’ll have to reschedule again.
I think I would just prepare to take the test next week. I don’t think there’s any downside to it since schools do not see your other attempts.

Most likely the reason for the scores going down is that it’s been a pretty extensive time and you’re slowly losing your skills and knowledge that you acquired in the past. It’s like a leaky bucket longer you run with the bucket the less you have at the end and you’ve been running for a while…
I’m sorry about the situation. It’s hard because you getting killed by 1000 Papercut basically little things that get forgotten or dropped off here or there. The only solution is to work at the brisk pace and review the materials, mistakes and make copious notes to regain all those sites you’ve learned and started to lose. I think ideally you would take eight weeks or less since you should know most of the material and just need a refresh…. May not be the welcome message so I’m delivering it.
