I just made my second attempt on GMAT. It was a complete disaster. I only needed to improve my score by 10. I decreased it by something like 200, I was too shocked to see the result…. The thing is my current professor is trying to keep me for a PhD in my current University and I suspect he is sabotaging my GMAT studying. In the last 2 weeks he has changed my research questions 3 times and the methodology I am supposed to use countless times. Moreover, I was asked to prepare an abstract for a conference, which was changed multiple times as well. I need to hand in my paper by the end of May. I live on energy drinks during the day, and take pills to sleep at night. I have panic attacks almost on a daily basis. Should I make a last attempt in 2 weeks, or wait till my current program is over? I am confident about my knowledge, I’m not sure about time management though, And my application’s deadline is almost over....

Hi stellamath
You might attempt some mocks, and if you see consistent and aspired score improvements in the mocks, you can re-attempt the test. It is hard to secure more scores when you are not carefree. Healthy eating and exercise also contribute to significantly taking on new challenges.
Best Wishes!

Hi stellamath and welcome to GMAT Club!
I am sorry about your stress levels and your professor. That seems like not an ideal GMAT Studying experience.
I was able to restructure my day to get the best time to focus on the GMAT during the morning hours and then coast at work. You want that type of environment rather than a high-paced and very stressful time when you can only study during breaks and after dinner - that's not going to get you far.
Unless you are able to get a solid stretch of time (a few months) and get quality time (most likely morning if you are a morning person), I would say it is going to be wasteful and frustrating. Depending on the score you need, you may be able to study for just a month but most spend 3-4 months to improve 150 or so points with diligent studying.
Hope it helps.
