Regarding Multiple GMAT Scores

[praveen_gujar]

Hi,

I screwed up my GMAT exam, got a very low score of 550 (screwed up in both departments).

I was aiming for top 20 Schools (seems like a joke, though i used to get 700+ in my prep tests). I have a profile that can support me along with a good score

Now because of a very low score, I am planning to retake my exam sometime in April. My biggest concern is, whether Universities will consider average of my scores or the best.

In case its the best score that the univ consider, how should i proceed with my exam?

Thanks in advance

Most universities will consider your HIGHEST GMAT score. The best way to start your GMAT prep for your retake is to figure out a GMAT study strategy for yourself. I recommend checking out my GMAT blog, https://beatthegmat.blocked to see an example of one study strategy that worked.

Best of luck!
