Will there be any impact from the multiple rescheduling?

50$

colleges know: NO

Good to know! Thanks!
After some thinking, I have decided to go ahead with the test and let the chips fall where they may.

Timing is still a serious problem for me, especially in quant. I have been going through a lot of posts in this forum about the timing problem.
My problem is that I don't keep track of my timings at a problem level i.e. I end up spending 3+ minutes on a couple of problems because I don't realize how time flies while doing the math...
Surprisingly, I've never had this issue while doing OG problems!

What can I do in the next 9 days to rectify this issue?

All the best !

Thanks navami!

I've been spending the entire week watching my timing...Before I begin a problem, I close my eyes for 1 second, take a breath and say to myself "I will quit this problem in 2 mins and move on".
This boring monotone every 2 mins is seriously helping me, you guys! I have begun to get a decent grasp of how much 2 mins really is. Hopefully, things will be ok by test day...

In my experience (limited as it is) I have found that timing is a tuning issue after mastering content. But of course they are linked; the better you understand the content, the less time it takes. But you still could spend 3 minutes on a problem burdened by calculations even though you know the content. (But again, beware, because GMAT seems not to be looking to reward number crunchers. It might be that you missed the crux of the problem ie.what they are really testing). The whole idea of making an educated guess after 2 minutes of deliberation using some process of elimination is not a bad one, because you have increased your chances after eliminating some answers (eg. ones that are too extreme). I also have learned (in my limited experience) that you should not 'bank' time on test day. It's a dangerous game to play with the GMAT to take minutes from one question to solve another. The main reason I believe this is counterproductive is that it disrupts rhythm and overall timing for the section. I too rescheduled my exam twice, and have learned that it is not reported to schools. Rest assured that you are wise to move the date so that you can maximize your score through these later adjustments. If you are already scoring in the 700s though, it may be that you cannot really improve your score that much more (as you did in the beginning) because of the law of diminishing returns. Good luck with everything. I wish you the best.
