Hi everyone,
Looking to get some advice or tips for the retake.
I took the center exam today in the morning and the center was really noisy with the examiner talking behind the door loudly and no sound proof headphones offered. I did well on quant and felt excited to get to verbal but with the sound it felt like all I could concentrate on was the conversation sounds coming from behind the door.
I kept re reading the RC CR questions and struggling to focus. Ive never had this issue in practice nor in OG Mocks. Opposite, Ive always been quite good at verbal and specially in RC CR. Always gotten at least 42 in verbal and 47 in my best mock attempts.
I just don't know how to deal with this, im definitely looking to retake this time online version with no sound and with comfort of being able to take breaks and drink eat something, and I am looking to retake within two weeks or less but Im afraid of facing a similar brain feeze in verbal.
I just honestly never have struggled with being able to answer/get through long texts before, I just had to rush through the 2/3 rd part of the verbal barely having time to read anything due to wasting so much time in the first 10 questions trying to focus but being unable to concentrate. I think I guessed the last 7 or so questions as I was out of time.
Any advice for this? I think of again going though the official practice banks (Ive already gone through them multiple times) and just focusing on time management. I am thinking of allocating enough time for daily lsat practice with focus on time management but also making sure to keep quant practice not to lose the quant skills.
I really think its more of a mental block thing than a knowledge thing though. I do have ADHD and focus has always been a difficult/ fluctuating area but still I think if I had practiced more, even with the noise I would have done better.
But any advice or tip is appreciated!

There may be an online exclusive question bank you can activate/use that came with the Official-Guide you purchased. If you're taking your next attempt Online, consider choosing a time of the day (or night) you perform well at. Had a student for example who took at least one Online attempt around 7:30 pm because they were a "night owl".

Hi Rubyrain,
First off, a 710/Q50 is an outstanding Score, so you can comfortably apply to any Business Schools that interest you. As such, a retest is probably not 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 and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement (and the more time that you have to act on that advice, the better). There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

1) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
