Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I decided over the summer I wanted to apply to business school this year. I started studying for GMAT in August and paid a lot of money for a tutor at a business school admissions consulting firm. My practice test were in the low 700s, and today I just took the real thing and bombed it with a 640 - which is below what my absolute cold practice test score was before I even made an attempt to study.
I'm feeling the pressure of the clock for R2 applications. I have an otherwise strong profile with a good undergrad institution, work experience, GPA, recommenders, and story for why MBA. At this point, should I try again for the GMAT or just switch over to GRE?
In high school, I had a similar experience with SAT where I didn't perform as well as I had on PTs on actual test day, then switched to ACT at kind of the last minute and hit it out of the park. For context, I was a humanities major in college but did coursework in math/econ/stats.
I'm only applying to 4 schools that I feel strongly about. I feel like everything else about my application has fallen into place, I just need this dang test score! Any thoughts would be very much appreciated!

Hi zena303
I guess the following post would be helpful for you:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/the-big-deci ... l#p3285508
Can you please share a little bit more about your profile please?
Also, I switched from GMAT to GRE and scored well in the GRE. There are many aspects that we need to take into consideration while making the switch. Though it may seem very attractive, making this switch should always be a well judged and evaluated step.
From what I can get superficially from your post is that there isn't much of a knowledge gap. If you were getting low 700s in your practice exams, then most likely you just did not have a good day on the actual exam day.

If you're thinking of retaking the GMAT or ultimately decide to do so, consider getting the ESR. Replaying what happened during the exam as you look over the data may provide some insight.
