Does number of GMAT attempts matter? I’ve heard some schools ask for this datapoint even if you’ve canceled scores. Think I can improve my score by 20+ but don’t want to hurt my app if I retake and get the same score again

There’s a maximum amount imposed by GMAT. Most people don’t get close to this number (5 times in a year or 8 times in a lifetime). I don’t believe most schools care as long as you eventually do well enough for them

I took it 3 times, got into Wharton. 720 -> 660 (cancelled on the spot) -> 750. I think I reported taking it three times but the schools only saw the 720 and 750. Generally I wouldn’t take more than three times

You can always cancel your score and schools won’t see that cancelled score / attempt

That’s good to know, thank you!

What score are you aiming for?

Haha it’s so frustrating. Think nerves played a part so thinking of retaking with this new online format at home if test attempt number really doesn’t matter

Have first rounds with Mck coming up and am fairly confident with all aspects of the interview except for the quantitative portion. My issue is moreso with going about how to solve the question rather than the actual calculations. Does anyone have any general resources or tips on how to practice this? I have been told going through GMAT problems could help as they are more business-centric. Will appreciate any and all advice - thank you!
