Hello,
A bit of background. I took the GMAT twice and scored 530 both times. I have since took the MGMAT class. My practice scores are as follows

MGMAT-600
MGMAT-590
MGMAT-640
MGMAT-630
GMAT Prep-600

As of now, I have my test scheduled for late December. I am targeting several part time programs in Southern California (Pepperdine, LMU, UC Irvine, and Top Choice USC).

Part of me wants to just get the test out of the way and move on to the application process since I want to get my full app submitted sooner rather then later. The other part of me wants to ensure I get the best score possible as this is the last time I will be taking the test, regardless of my score.

Any thoughts would be great,

Thanks

Dear sme0928,

You need to take the test when you feel ready, but you can't put it off forever. So, I think you do have to just schedule your test and move forward. If you do not feel you are making progress or have not gotten to a level you need to be at on a section, then postpone it. However, you don't want to wait too long as there is an advantage to applying sooner rather than later when you feel you have a lot to offer, but have one piece of the application that is a concern.

Good luck,
Lisa
