So, by the title you can guess that my GMAT score pretty much sucks.
I took a class only focused on the Quant section of the test and spend most of my time in the class overwhelmed. I'm a communications/liberal arts person...so using math is not part of my day-to-day life. I was shocked by how much information I had forgotten since grade school and didn't absorb the info I needed to.
In an effort to try and avoid then new GMAT, I went ahead and registered for the test, crammed for 3 weeks and made a horrible score. Not to mention I was nervous, stressed out and my mind was generally not in the right place. I need to get at least a 650 for my school of choice. Now that I got that score, it made me really sad, but it's motivated me also, but I have a decision to make and I'd like any advice anyone can offer....
Should I...
A) Cram for another month or so to take the GMAT again, try to get a 650 and avoid the new test.
-OR-
B) Admit defeat.
Take another course focused on the entire test and take my times studying to prepare to take the new GMAT officially again in the fall or something. I didn't want to take the new one, but I feel like I don't have a choice.
I wanted to apply/start my MBA program this year, but I can't apply with that score. I hate to have to swallow my pride and wait another year to enroll, but I need to be as strong of a candidate as possible.
Please give me your advice! I'm torn! Thank you.
