Hi all,
I took the GMAT on Saturday and was really disappointed in my score, so immediately came home and ordered the ESR. However, it doesn't seem like I can activate it yet. How long does it normally take after test day for the ESR to be available and will there be any sort of notification indicating the ESR is ready to view? Dying to see what went wrong so I can make a gameplan for a retake ASAP :/

Hi studybuddy,
From one of your prior posts, it sounds as though you took the At-home GMAT (as opposed to taking your Exam at a Testing Facility). Is that correct? Since an ESR cannot be generated until an Official Score has been certified, GMATers typically have to wait a few days for the ESR to be made available (if the Official GMAT was administered at a Test Facility). With an At-home GMAT, some people have had to wait as long as a week (or longer) to receive an Official Score, so the availability of an ESR for that Exam is also delayed.
While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). Once you have your ESR, I'll be happy to analyze it for you.
Beyond that data, it would also help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi Rich,
Thanks for your response. I took the GMAT at a Testing Facility and actually just received access to the ESR about an hour ago. I would so appreciate it if you would be willing to analyze it.
To answer your questions:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
- I've been studying about 3 months now. I was on furlough from work for 8 of those weeks, which allowed me to study 25+ hours per week.
2) What study materials have you used so far?
- I enrolled in Princeton Review's 27-hour online course for the beginning of my study and followed their guidelines throughout. The course ended May 5th and since then I've spent about 15-20hrs working practice problems from the Official Guide and reviewing content from the course.
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Princeton Review CATs:
4/6/2020 - 600 (Q37/V37)
4/14/2020 - 680 (Q41/V43)
4/21/2020 - 640 (Q39/V39)
4/28/2020 - 610 (Q35/V39)
5/5/2020 - 640 (Q41/V39)
5/17/2020 - 690 (Q43/V43)
6/6/2020 - 690 (Q41/V45)
GMAT Practice Tests
6/13/2020 - 730 (Q48/V42)
6/18/2020 - 720 (Q46/V44)
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
730+
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
I only have 1 year of work experience at this point, but know b-school is on my radar in the next few years. I graduated from a top undergrad program with a 3.9 GPA and am in the midst of gaining compelling work experience at a Fortune 500 company. I think I've got a shot at Top 10 schools if I can nail a competitive GMAT score. When I was temporarily furloughed from work due to COVID, I thought what better time to get a strong GMAT score under my belt. Although I am back to work now, I feel I have built up the momentum and want to finish out this journey to a top score.
If you would be willing to analyze my ESR that would be awesome as I'm trying to draft my study plan for the next 5 weeks until retake.
