Hi all,
I have been studying quite intensively for the GMAT Focus for the past 1.5-2 months and took my exam this morning, performing worse than my recent results. I need a bit of advice and would appreciate any input people can offer!
To explain my situation, I finished my undergraduate degree (grad '23) and need the GMAT to apply for a Masters in Finance program - these courses would all need a 645 score. Since graduating I have done some internship experience. Over the past few months I have done nothing except study for the GMAT, and in my most recent practice tests achieved 685, 655, and on Monday this week I scored 715. Unfortunately, in my official test this morning I scored much lower at 595.
I am currently trying to figure out what to do next. On the one hand its clear that nerves did affect me to some degree, as I could tell there were question types I am normally able to answer which in the test I literally could not compute. This gives an argument as to why I should potentially retake ASAP.
On the other hand, I have delayed a huge amount of other work until after this exam, and I also need to start working part time to earn money again. I also feel burned out only focusing on GMAT question sets. I suspect doing other work might help me be more fresh when I am doing my GMAT work and help me score higher. Finally, the fact that some sections scored so much lower in the real test make me suspect that there may be some core theory I need to look back at and secure, and do question sets to lock in.
How would you approach this?
Thank you in advance!

Hi. As soon as possible does make the most sense taking into consideration your practice scores as well as the fact that a lot of materials should still be fresh in your mind.
However, you also need to understand why you scored much lower. Is it something stupid which is easy to fix, such as you burned up a bunch of time on a couple of questions and then ran out of time or panicked or something more serious such as did you not know the material or made careless mistakes?
PS. I Am assuming your practice scores were realistic and you didn’t have repeat questions

Including your section scores could be helpful. If you share your score report (after wiping any personal info) once it becomes available, people may provide some specific suggestions as well. Replaying what happened during the exam as you look over the score report yourself may also provide some helpful insight. Perhaps you recall some questions you thought you got correct but, thinking back, you may have made a careless error on.
