Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Nikhil,

I am scheduled to take the GMAT on the 5th. In recent weeks I have slacked on the studying and I am behind schedule. I thought it might be a good idea to go in and take the test regardless of how I do to get a feeling of the test atmosphere.

My question is will it look bad (to Adcom) to take it once and recieve a sub par score...probably mid 500s and then take it again? Should I just postpone and take it at a later date.

Also when does round 1 end for most colleges.
Thanks for your help!

It looks bad if you take the test more than 3 times so try to be as prepared as possible. Most schools have round 1 deadlines around November.
