Quick Question

by UCwannabe » Thu Aug 28, 2008 9:44 pm
Hi Stacy,

Thanks for your help on the forum. It is a GREAT resource.

I am scheduled to take the GMAT on the 5th. In recent weeks I have slacked on the studying and I am behind schedule. I thought it might be a good idea to go in and take the test regardless of how I do to get a feeling of the test atmosphere.

My question is will it look bad (to Adcom) to take it once and recieve a sub par score...probably mid 500s and then take it again? Should I just postpone and take it at a later date.

Thanks

Dear UCWannabe,

It does not look bad to take the test more than once and show improvement. So if you want to go ahead and take the exam you should. However, I think you do have a week to prepare so make the most of it to do the best you can on that test. You might be surprised how well you do.

Good luck,
Lisa
