Hi, need some advice whether to retake the Gmat Focus exam in two weeks or just request the waiver? I unfortunately drastically underperformed in the exam vs my practice tests.
Practice test #1 on 05/15 (cold mock): 485 (Q71, V78, DI73)
Practice test #2 on 06/15: 505 (Q74, V81, DI70)
Practice test #3 on 07/26: 555 (Q75, V82, DI75)
Practice test #4 on 08/04: 565 (Q80, V83, DI71)
Practice test #5 on 09/10: 575 (Q76, V83, DI76)
Practice test $6 on 09/14: 545 (Q77, V78, DI76)
Score first attempt on the GMAT Focus was today 09/16: 495 (Q71, V80, DI 71)
I don't even know how I got such a low score, but I did feel quite nervous during the previous days to the exam, to the point I couldn't sleep properly, and I wasn't as mentally as sharp during the exam. I felt my mind was slow and couldn't understand half of what was going on, which is a huge difference as english is my second language, and not understanding what I am reading significantly lowers my performance. I feel beaten up and disappointed.
I don't know if at this point I shall request the waiver for the MBA programs, as the deadlines are coming up soon at the end of September and I wont be able to retake the test until October 2nd. I'm applying to two different schools, with target scores of 525 minimum for one of them, and average of 615 for the other one.

If you're thinking of retaking but concerned about the timelines, consider reaching out to the schools to see whether you can apply with the 495 and "update" your score post application.

Hi 2025mbaprep,
I actually would reach out to the folks in admissions to see if they'd allow you to submit an updated score after the deadline.
