Will probably FAIL- should I still take it?

by sevenperfumes » Fri Aug 01, 2008 2:41 am
I'm supposed to take the GMATs tomorrow morning and though I know I will be OK with the verbal, I will definitely FAIL the quantitative. Since I cannot get my money back at this point does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do? Take the test anyway or simply not go?

Also, if I did fail the GMAT, what are my chances of being accepted anyway? I have superior references, already a business exec., graduated magna cum laude in '04. Has anyone been accepted to MBA programs with failed GMAT scores???

THANKS!

It would be better if you submit the scores .If you cancel the score :

1. you will not be able to view your exam result

2. your score report will have the test labelled as cancelled if you do a 2nd test.

But dont want to disheart you go ahead and win . Here is a blog of a guy who won an admission with scholarship even when his GMAT score was 560 .

GMAT is only one factor.
DO see this video for your inspiration . Tks for ngufo for hinting this:

You can't fail a GMAT.
"Many a GMATer was made or broken during the last 30 minutes of the exam."

The way I see it you have already spent $250 whether you take it or not...just as well go do it. Maybe you will be pleasantly surprised or maybe you will be better prepared for round 2 (if necessary). Interested to see how you do.
