Need help. Looks like I took the biggest blunder of my life.
Hi Stacy, I scored 720 in GMAT last month but was not satisfied. I was scoring 750-770 in the practice tests. I retook it today and scored a 680. Now, how does it look to the adcomm? In most of the applications they ask for self-reported GMAT scores and they verify the score after the admission and ...

decided in retaking it but am not sure whether it is a good idea.
What happens if the score goes down?
Will the new score be reported to the schools which already received my reports (on test day)?

I concentrated a lot in SC and ignored CR and RC. The reason was that I was unable to improve any bit in those while in SC I was able to see improvements. I got pretty tough RCs or I might have felt tough because I am weak in it. almost all of the questions were global questions. another thing, I fo...

I only used OG for all my studies but had bought Manhattan SC book. Along with the book came the access code to its tests and practiced that as well. The irony is that I never scored less than 51 on Manhattan or GPrep tests but got 50 on the real test. I know this is a very good score but still a se...

720, 50Q/38V
I am just returning from the test center and scored 720 (50/38).

Needles to say, I used Manhattan SC ...

Yes, you are a disgrace, not by scoring "low" on Q but by making such a comment.
All asians cannot ace in Q otherwise GMAT won't have Q for asians.

Drop-out. Any chances?!

I don't think that doing fantastic in Kaplan tests would bring your chances up to get a high score in real GMAT. The reason is that GMAT is adaptive. You won't get tougher questions until and unles you do easier and meium ones correctly. Practicing on Kaplan will make you ignore easier questions and...
