Is there a limit on the number of times you can reschedule the test date?

Hi Baton,

Since you have to pay a rescheduling fee every time, I imagine that the answer is 'no' - there is probably no limit to the number of times you reschedule. There IS a limit to the number of times that you can take the GMAT in any consecutive 12 months (no more than 5 times). Why do you ask? How many times have you rescheduled so far?

Thanks Rich,

I've rescheduled once and got my test in two weeks - 12/31.

With two weeks to go, my Quant proficiency level has increased to 88% and SC is well above 85%. CR and RC are my biggest let down. Most of my efforts this week will go towards these sections then at end of this week I will attempt another practice test and decide whether I want to still do the test. I wonder whether there are ways out there that I can at least improve on these. I got the book but I just dont feel like it's helping much.

Regards,
Baton

Thanks for the tips. They are absolutely helpful.

Here is what I have decided to do - spend the first week brushing up on my verbal skills. I plan to tacked the verbal questions from OG and Verbal Guide as I go through the skills. Spend second week brushing up on my Quant skills - again I will complete and revise questions from OG and Quant Guide. Final weeks - doing tests and revising thoroughly.

I will def keep you guys updated.

Thanks!
Baton
All the best Baton!

Hi manyaabroadtpr

Many thanks for the wishes but I've decided to reschedule the test to mid Feb to give myself time to work on CR and RC.

Thanks again and happy new year!

Best wishes!
Baton

Hi Baton,

That is perfect. You should only attempt the test when you feel absolutely confident. Just be smart to avoid any burnout. You have already been studying for GMAT since some time and you now have another month or so. Stay consistent with your preparation and keep yourself motivated all throughout.

Wish you the best and a very happy new year.
