I just took the GMAT FE Online today and got a disappointing score compared to my usual... partially due to test nerves but also because of technical issues (flickering share-screen throughout the test, proctor interrupting me 7x to move my head). I got a 665, which is ~40-50 points lower than where I had been tracking with mocks (OGs / Magooshs have put me in the 98th to 99th percentile / my latest attempt on OG was 715) and ~30 pts lower than the averages of my target schools.
Q: 82
V: 87
DI: 80 (Super weak in two-part analysis - partially because I ran out of time and decided to lob in guesses for 4 questions)
I want to try to get everything ready in time for R1, so I immediately booked another session at a testing center for June 7th (in 3 weeks).
1) Does it make sense for me to try again quite soon?
2) What should I try to work on in my remaining 3 weeks? Any advice on best path forward? I've so far gone through all the Magoosh practice questions and tests, did the GMATClub mock, and took two free full-length OGs. Right now, I'm planning on using the GMATClub quiz bank and additional OG tests. Should I go crazy on taking a mock every day, or should I maybe hire a short-term tutor? I don't want to burn myself out before the next test, but this broke my confidence a bit.
Additional background: I've been studying for 2 months and graduated with a very high GPA in a STEM major from a Top 5 US school, so I'm good at Math when I'm calm

Hi crystalgirl123,
I don't know about the nonofficial tests you've taken, but if the official practice tests put you in the 99th percentile, you absolutely should go for a retake soon (no tutor or daily-mock-crazy required
).All the best.

One thing that may help a bit is leveraging your error-log to identify which types of questions your fundamentals may be a bit shaky on. Noting down any repeated careless errors you may make may also help a bit.
