I took at the beginning of the year. Got a good score and then going to take in June before applying round 1

Took it in March for the first time and doing a retake in mid June (GRE FWIW).

Ahem to that 🤡

Pro tip: Just found out the at home online exam version is graded on the spot which is a huge help timeline wise!

Haven’t taken GMAT officially yet but am getting my 720 on first practice test

Looking into tuck, Kellogg, Yale SOM, and stern

For those taking gmat more than 1 time, did your scores improve in the second time? Got a 690 my first one a month ago and retaking this week but I find myself freaking out. My practice test has been 720-730, though the one this weekend dropped to 700 because i was freaking out with verbal. Any encouragement is strongly appreciated 😔😥
