Hi folks,
Hope you are all doing well. My first post here!
I am struggling to find info on whether one could book an online exam and an in-person exam simultaneously? (provided that one leaves a 16+days gap between the appointments)
I am in a position where I need to get a 700+ score by the end of February. Of course, it would be ideal for me to just get the score I want in my next attempt but I am just trying to leave a margin for error by securing another test appointment in the same month.
Just to add a bit of context:
-I took my first GMAT (in-person format) in early December 2020, and scored 630 (Q48 V28). The ESR tells me that I performed particularly badly on SC and even worse on CR. (I was shocked to see how badly I performed on CR!). Having said that, I was not entirely surprised because I realised that I did not take a 'correct' approach in studying these sections - I've literally been just doing questions after question without really learning the concepts. So, I am currently focusing on actually mastering the concepts for SC and CR.
-The deadline for the current application round for the school/course that I am applying for is the first week of March - this is the reason why I would need to a 700+ score by the end of February at the latest.
If anyone has an answer to my question, please do let me know.
Also any tips/advices would be greatly appreciated!
Keep well everyone!

ec0421 - I hope you are having a good weekend. The 16 calendar days gap applies only the in-person GMAT, and the in-person GMAT has no bearing on the GMAT Online. In fact, you can take the GMAT and GMAT Online on the same day. The only thing to keep in mind is that you can take the GMAT online for a maximum of two times; therefore, please plan your GMAT Online appointments wisely.

Hi ec0421,
The 16-day waiting period is the number of calendar days between appointments taken in one 'format' (re: two appointments at Test Centers or two appointments in the At-home format). Scheduling a GMAT at a Test Facility and scheduling an At-home appointment have NO impact on one another though; you could technically take one of each on the same day - although I would NOT recommend that you do that. If you score significantly lower on an Exam (in either format), then you might not want to 'rush in' too quickly to retake the GMAT (as there will likely be several aspects to Test Day that you will have to specifically train for before you will be able to score higher (and that training takes time).
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would 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 in total? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates (or approximate 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 specific overall goal score?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to and what specific application deadlines are you facing?
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). Since you purchased the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you. Before you can include attachments with your posts/PMs, you need to have at least 5 posts in the forums (right now, you have just 1 post). If you would rather not go through those extra steps at this point, then you can feel free to email me directly (at [email protected])
