Bad GMAT Question

by brian1981us Tue Jun 30, 2009 7:09 pm

I am considering taking the GMAT soon and was wondering if I completely bomb the test, for example score between 300-500, but take it again and score in the 600-700 range will the adcoms in any way hold the lower score against me?

Hi -

In your example, with that significant of a discrepancy in test scores, it would almost seem that something "went wrong" on the first test that might have been out of your control. Regardless, the Admissions Committee will take your best score.

Regards,
Erin
