GMAT in a week's time! Need advice!

by AniBaheti » Fri Jun 14, 2013 11:00 pm
Hello Experts,

I am barely a 10 days away from giving the GMAT. I've scheduled my test in such a way that it would let me apply for the R1s of the top 5 Ivy leagues I wish to apply to. Here's a glimpse into my scores so far -
GMAT Prep1 - 690
GMAT Prep1 - 730 ( Second attempt)
GMAT Prep2 - 750

All 4 Kaplan scores in the range of 610 - 650

MGMAT 1 - 640
MGMAT 2 - 670

I have rest of the credentials in place for application but don't want to go too low on GMAT score and miss out on the opportunity. My queries -
1) What GMAT Score range can i predict myself to be in?
2) Would it be a good idea to cancel the test for now and reschedule it in August? ( though that would put me very close to the R1 deadlines)
3) Any last minute tips?

Cheers!

Hey Ani,

As I understand it, Business Schools don't really care if you take the gmat more than once, but if you do end up retaking, then you certainly want your second score to be better than your first ;). The advice I've heard is that, with your scoring range, you SHOULD take your gmat. If the score isn't to your liking, then you can retake it in a month and there's no real harm.
