Cancel the score?

by nsuen » Mon Mar 14, 2016 6:26 pm
Hello guys!

I am taking the gmat this Friday, and I am not so confident to get a over 600 score. I feel a bit defeated as I studied hard for the past 3 months. Well, since the exam is coming up, I will just try my best to do it. I read it on the official guide said that i can only retake the gmat after 30 days if I cancel the score. However, it also said I can retake the test in 16 days ( is it for when I do not cancel the score?)

The thing is one of the schools I am applying requires that I submit a score by April 21. Therefore, is it better to send the score ( if i get below 600) then tell them I will retake the test or just cancel the score and retake it by April 21?
The other school said I can retake as long as I get a 600, so I am thinking to keep the score and retake.

Thank you very much for answering this question.

Hi there,

I would recommend that you take the GMAT on Friday, send in the score and let them know that you are going to retake it.
This strategy will show a high level of commitment, from your side, to this school.

I hope this was helpful and wish you the best of luck.

Best regards,
