Should I prepone my GMAT date?

by akash_chopra » Wed Jan 21, 2009 2:29 pm
Hi,

My GMAT is currently scheduled for 03/23. I started preparing a month back and gave Princeton and Manhattan free diagnostoc tests:
Princeton: 660(Q46V34)
Manhattan: 710(Q51 V 34)

I scheduled my test for 3 months later since I figured I would need around 3 months to improve my test score. I have spent the past month going through OG(11 and supplemental)/Manhattan guides ( concentrating especially on the verbal part).
I gave GMATPrep tests and MGCAT's last weekend and scores were:

Prep1:780(q 51 v 49)
Prep2: 800(q 51 v 51)
MGCAT 1: 780(q 51 v 49)

I am planning to give some more CAT's this week but I am thinking if I should really wait 2 more months before giving the test or should I look to prepone it? May be these peaks are temporary and more practice is needed or there is a danger that I could be off my peak when giving GMAT. I am looking for a 700+ score( anything above 720 will be as good as perfect for my target schools)

Given your practice test performance, I wouldn't delay. It seems like you are very much in range to do a 700+ performance on the real test.

Nice work on these practice exams! Please let us know how your real test goes. :)

Thanks for the reply Eric and preponing did help. I gave my GMAT on Fri 02/13 and ended up with a score of 790 and now I have more time than what I planned for filling my applications. I have a full time job and looking to get admitted in Washington Univ Technology Management MBA program . I will post my debrief shortly but once again thanks for this forum-it really helps a lot.
