If I am still not hitting my target score from the MGAT practice exams should I postpone the real GMAT until I do hit my target range? My worry is if I postpone my first real GMAT by a month to prepare further than I will only be able to take it once before I'll have to start on essays and the rest of the applications. At the same time I don't want to throw away the cost of the test on a super low score only to sign up for again right away.
If you knew you needed more preparation would take the test anyway or just postpone it until that target score is achieved?

Well you have not provided enough information for a comprehensive reply.
For example, what is your target score?
What have you done to achieve that till date?

Thanks for the reply. Sorry 'bout the ambiguity. My target is a 680. I would feel much more comfortable with at least a 700 but high 600's would be enough to not dedicate additional time away from the rest of my applications. It's embarrassing to admit but my first practice test was a 580 after completing the 9 week MGMAT course. I made the mistake of not taking the practice tests during the course itself due to laziness and convincing myself that time would be better served reviewing problems instead. I am taking my second practice test today but I am not holding out much hope based on my practice question struggles.
I have only recently realized that taking those tests serves to zero in on problem areas. I feel this next month of study will be nakedly more efficient. Any suggestions are welcome since I have to reschedule by weeks end and the latest I can take the real test is the end of Oct. so I have a month for the first two schools' essays/apps.
