Can someone help me figure out what to do and how i should analyze my ESR to get better.

Consider mentioning your section scores and where you felt your issues were (i.e. CR). If you share your ESR here, people may provide some specific suggestions as well (may want to wipe any personal info off it first). If time management was an issue, using question/time markers may help.

Hi sah_25,

Can you provide some more details regarding your score breakdown? Also, by when do you have to take your next GMAT?

So I just took my first attempt at the GMAT, and because I have been preparing for a while i decided to take the old GMAT instead of shifting to Focus Edition. I averaged 650-670 in all my practice tests, but on the actual GMAT today I ended up with a 610.

I'm not sure of what to do next because GMAT is only there for 15 more days, and I have to get started on preparing for Focus Edition. Can someone help me figure out what to do and how i should analyze my ESR to get better. I also want to know if the schools i choose the next time can see both GMAT and GMAT FE, or just my FE scores. Since i didn't cancel the 610 I got today.

Share your ESR to help us provide you specific guidance. If unwilling to share it here, you can pm it.

Also, Focus is essentially the same GMAT syllabus (in fact, a bit less) with re-ordered questions types. So there is nothing to worry with Focus.
You can choose to cancel your Classic GMAT score (if taken at the test centre) within 72 hours of taking it if you don't want to keep the 610. If you took it online, only the schools you chose to share it with will see it. If you take GMAT Focus in the future, only the schools you choose to share that score with will be able to see it.

Here is an article on mba.com in which David Menlo discusses why keeping multiple scores (especially a previous low one :)) is actually a good idea.

I got a 6 in IR. My weakpoints I think are Critical Reasoning and Problem Solving. My accuracy was low in both of those areas based on my ESR

YB10
How much did you get on the IR? And what would you consider your weak points? Please give a breakup of your scores. GMAT focus might just be easier than classic GMAT. This is from my personal experience. So don’t be too worried about having to study for another type of exam. What you have learnt now is gonna be more useful as the areas have been reduced, which also means it’s easier for you to improve as you will have to focus on fewer topic areas.
