Hello,
After studying intensively for 2 months and overall 4 months, I scored a 625 (Q78 - V85 - D80) on my GMAT focus yesterday.
I am mitigated because this is already a relatively high score and I lie slightly above the mean GMAT scores for my masters but I am also disappointed since it my all time low score compared to my mock exams (except the first one where I got a 575).
Indeed, I scored
- 625 (Q83 - V78 - D82) (Non official mock)
- 645 (Q79 - V81 - D84) (Non official mock)
- 655 (Q81 - V82 - D83) (Official mock)
- 695 (Q86 - V84 - D83) (Official mock)
- 755 (Q90 - V85 - D87) (Official mock, a bit lucky on the questions)
I do not know how to explain these gaps. My biggest deception is on the quant part, which is the first one I pass during the exam, and on which I usually scored much higher both in my latest mock full exam and in my quant mocks (I have done about 15 quant mocks). I found that the questions were nearly impossible, that I didnt have time for any question.
I was like petrified at the beginning of the quant part and spent more than 9mns on the first 3 questions.
Plus, as a French, and non native english speaker, I cannot explain how I achieved such a high score on the verbal section given my horrible quant start.
Overall, I had 9 mistakes on quant, 9 mistakes on Data and 6 on verbal, which is substantially higher than on my mocks.
I studied for the GMAT with the 4 OGs, and GmatClub. I also took all free materials that I could find over the Internet.
So I come to you for advices:
I need to apply before January 6th, and I have finals lasting until Decemeber 20th. Besides, I work part time so I dont have much time to study.
Should I repass it after my finals? How should I study given my little amount of time available?
Thank you in advance and sorry for my not perfect english !

Hi Bissap,
The good news is that, based on your practice exam scores, you've demonstrated the ability to achieve a GMAT score higher than what you got on test day. To be honest, your lower score might have been a fluke or simply a result of an off day. You know what I mean?
Even with your hectic schedule over the next few weeks, I don’t think you need to invest a ton of time in prep before retaking the exam. Just do as much as you can, and I recommend taking the GMAT again as soon as possible.
Feel free to reach out if you need any additional support, and let me know what you decide regarding your retake!

625 can be good for few schools which are not top. So if you are fine with it go ahead else no option but to buy official mocks & validate your scores again before real ateempt.
