As the title says, I took my GMAT today and scored 570(q46,v23). This is nowhere near my target score of 700+, and is lower than even any of my mock exams combined. My official mocks prior to this were:
M1: 600
M2:710
M3:610(but this was not done under test settings due to unavoidable circumstances). I had to leave my desk multiple times while doing the mock and was unable to be fully focused.
M4:720
M1 retake: 700(2 weeks before the actual exam)
This result was particularly shocking to me considering I usually do very well in verbal.
Also for the past 2 days, I experienced throat pain, runny nose, slight fever and headache. I don’t believe it’s covid related but I was definitely not 100% fit to take my exam today(I was probably about 80%). [EDIT: I have tested positive for COVID on 4/18, hence it may be due to covid that I didn't do well in the exam.]
I definitely want to retake the exam but not sure when. Also, would it be worth it to buy the ESR if I already know part of the reason why I didn’t do well today(my health)?
Any info would be well appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi balthazar98
You scored well on your mocks but as mentioned, the day might not be with you. I can happen and you should come back stronger next time.
Do not loose hope and try again maybe after a month with 100% prep. It seems you have covered all concepts and would require more of a regular practice.
I can suggest that you may order an ESR so that you can tailor your preparation even better this time.
All the best!

When you feel you have recovered consider taking another Official Mock before scheduling your exam. Perhaps you decide to wait a week more.
If you think "throat pain, runny nose, slight fever and headache" was only a part of the reason for the lower than expected score, the ESR may be helpful to check out with a grain of salt.
