I have an old GMAT score of 700 V 40 Q 45 AWA 5.5

Needed an edge in my application and took the Knewton Course and completed the content (maybe too quickly).

Scores are as follows

Past exam reports Date completed Q V Total
Diagnostic GMAT 08/07/2012 45 39 680
Practice GMAT #1 08/15/2012 40 37 620
Practice GMAT #2 08/18/2012 45 41 700
Practice GMAT #3 08/27/2012 45 38 680
Practice GMAT #4 08/30/2012 42 40 660
Practice GMAT #5 09/02/2012 42 37 640

My appointment is tomorrow, should I cancel it as clearly I have made no progress and a retake will just look highly unprepared.

If I cancel it online (at mba.com not at center) will it show up on my scoring report.

I believe in Knewton's method just that I may have steam - rolled through it. Would they consider resetting the program so that I can do the course again with more care so that there is an actual increase.

What I want/need is significantly higher score i.e. 750 and am ready to waive my right for moneyback if a reset can be done.

I'm pretty sure it won't show up on your score report, but so what if it does? You could've been sick! They have too much to do to go wondering why you missed an exam. That said, I don't see any reason why it would appear anywhere. I'm confident no one will ever know.

I'd definitely say cancel the exam. You need to be consistently scoring well above your target score to make it worth it!

How did you get a Q55??? Did you mean 45?

Thanks appreciate the input yes it was 45, seems like a did a bit of self actualization there.
