Re: Retake at 660?

Just an FYI: your real test score is in the same range as your practice test scores (even though it's on the lower end). These tests all have standard deviations - we don't score the exact same thing every time. Still, that doesn't mean that you can't improve!

It looks like your verbal score held up but your quant score dropped. Did you have any timing or other problems that you remember from the quant? Did you take your practice tests under 100% official conditions, including essays, length of breaks, etc.?

If you took our course or one of our Guided Self-Study packages, then you're eligible for a free Post-Exam Assessment (if you haven't done it already). This is a phone call with an instructor to figure out what went wrong and come up with a plan to re-take the test. If this applies to you, please send an email to studentservices@manhattangmat.com and request the Post-Exam Assessment.

If that doesn't apply to you (or if you also want to get advice here!), you can use this article to analyze your most recent practice CATs:

Then come back here and share your analysis (not just the raw data; tell us what you think it means) and what you think you need to do. We'll tell you whether we agree. Also give us more detail / insight into what you think might have happened on real test day to lead to the lower quant score.
