Hi Gmat experts,
I took my first GMAT attempt a few days ago and scored a shocking 620. While I was scoring 720-750 in mocks, it came as a shock when screen flashed a score of 620 (Q49, V25). After some days of rest, I am thinking to prepare again for my second attempt and need your advice on the same.
1. What is the typical timeline that I should consider for a retake?
2. I am confused whether I should do self study or go with an online/ personal coaching. I have shortlisted a few names but need your opinion on the same.
I have purchased my ESR report and really looking forward for your help in better understanding my prep strategy forward. Please help. Thanks!

Hi GDG,
I'm sorry to hear that Test Day didn't go as well as planned. When these types of score drops occur, the two likely "causes" involve either something that was unrealistic during practice or something that was surprising (or not accounted for) on Test Day. Before we discuss any of those potential issues though, 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? Over the last 3 months, how many hours did 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 overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
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. If you would rather not post it publicly, then you can feel free to PM it directly to me.
