GMAT - 3rd Attempt

by kamblikeeda » Thu Oct 28, 2010 1:54 am
Hi Stacy!

I have recently appeared for the 2nd time for GMAT and scored a low 360, my earlier attempt was around 350. I used to score around 550 on the practice tests on the Kaplan tests and was totally nervous during the test. I want to study much more extensively this time and cross the 700 mark. I would like your opinion on how I could explain the earlier bad scores to the adcoms.

Thanks

Dear kamblikeeda,

You do not need to explain previous GMAT attempts. Schools will only use your highest score in your evaluation. Keep up the preparation and try to not let the anxiety get to you during the exam.

Good luck,
Lisa
