Hi

I just gave the GMAT yesterday and my score dropped from 680 to 650.

Should I give the GMAT again in a month's time or should I wait and give it in May-June next year?

Thanks

Hi qwerty12321,

Can you provide a bit more information about your Test and plans:

1) What were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for your Official GMAT?
2) What schools are you planning to apply to? And when?
3) How were you scoring on your practice CATs?

While they may look like scores that are quite different from one another, a 650 is "in range" of a 680. A 650 is right around the 80th percentile, so it's a solid performance. It could be that you don't need to retest.

Hi Rich

Before the GMAT I was scored a 670,650,680 in MGMAT tests and 740,740 in GMATPrep 1 and 2.

I scored less in verbal, even lesser than my previous GMAT score.

Can you suggest me what to do?

Thanks
Smile

Hi qwerty12321,

Before I can offer any suggestions, I'm still going to need exact answers to my prior questions. Knowing your overall scores is not enough information.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
