If you're sitting on a score that wasn't what you hoped for, the temptation is usually to immediately sign up for the next available test date. But a retake is only beneficial if you can address why the first test didn't go as planned.

Before you re-register, ask yourself:

  • Did I score significantly lower than my practice test average, or was this score aligned with my prep?
  • Were there specific test-day factors (distractions, burnout, timing) that can be fixed?
  • Do I realistically have enough bandwidth to refresh content before applying?

If you aren't sure how to weigh these factors, our team put together a quick guide to help you audit your results objectively.
