Just got back from the test (2nd time) and received the lowest score ever, out of any practice test...... and even lower then when I took the test in '08.
With about an average of 550 on 10 practice tests, I just scored a 420...... In '08 I got a 450!? So I am doing worse than what I thought was my worse.
This time I felt very confident during the entire test, I was relaxed, I studied many hours last 14 weeks while taking the Veritas prep class, took yesterday and last Friday off from work, etc.
I don't know what else I could have done? I don't understand how this happened?
The score was so bad I thought it was a joke! The lowest score just based on what I think my intelligence is, amount of work I have put in and practice test should be at least 530. BUT 420 the second time around? Really?
Either a blessing in disguise or I am stupid....this score is so far off it is hard to comprehend what is going on here.
Should I go explain to the program I want to get into (https://www.sandiego.edu/business/progra ... ening_MBA/) how hard I have worked and ask for their mercy, take the test in 30 days with out studying and see if I can do better without prep, or choose another career route?
I have put in many hours and thousands of dollars into this, that is what is most frustrating right now. All the work and no fruit.
Thank You,
