Hello,
A couple weeks ago I took a MGMAT practice test and scored a 620. I felt pretty good considering my first attempt at the actual GMAT was 530. I am applying to a few part time programs in CA where the average score is right around 630ish.

This past weekend I took a GMAT Prep Test and scored 510 Sad

Needless to stay I was shocked, saddened, and disappointed.

My test date is 3/21 so if I indeed reschdedule I would obviously need to do it in the next few days.

My question is whether I should postpone my exam and re-focus on some of my weak areas and brush up on some fundamentals?

Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Dear sme0928,

It is really a decision for you to make based on how prepared you feel you are for the GMAT. You are running out of time to apply this year, so unfortunately, you will probably need to reschedule within a few weeks if you decide to reschedule. I think you need to take these practice scores with a grain of salt. Most people do not score all that close on the actual exam to what they scored on a practice test. You also need to factor in your state of mind. If you are overly anxious, you will not do as well. So, think about how you feel and your comfort level and then make a determination on what will make you feel more at ease.

Good luck,
Lisa

Applications are usually available about a year in advance. So for most programs starting in August/September of 2010b, the applications will be available starting in August of 2009. You will need to check with each of your schools for the exact date as there is some variance.

Lisa
