I am currently scheduled to take the GMAT on Thursday 10/30/08 and I have been scoring very poorly on my practice tests (My Mean is a 550). I figure that I need to score around a 650 to 680 to get into my School of Choice, which is the Rady School at UCSD.
My question is should I take the exam on Thursday to see where I am or should I push out my test and study another 3-4 weeks? Will taking the exam twice hurt me overall? Also what would happen if I elected not to send my scores automatically to potential Schools on this attempt but then sent my follow up exam scores? Would they still see my first exam scores if I don't send them in?
I can't get a refund of any nature by rescheduling because they refuse if you are within 7 days of your exam date. I'd hate to waste the $250 but if it will be detrimental to my application then I'll take the hit.
Any input would be appreciated.
