Thanks hk. You can definitely call it a "case," although I do tend to be somewhat dramatic in my writing sometimes (chances are I'll still find time for dates - and may not take the test every month). But I do think cancelling my test was a wise decision. There's no way I could have answer...

Hey D Thurman, I just read through this thread, and I can say you're a great source of encouragement. I took the GMAT for my first time today and got a 540.
