GMAT gives you the option of canceling the score (before you even see the score) if you think that you have done below par. Question is: should you or should you not cancel the scores? 

Most of the business schools consider the latest scores or the highest scores. Its almost a myth that a few schools consider average!. We advice you to  NOT cancel the scores. The cost of the exam is $250, and if you cancel the score without looking at it, you are forgoing that $250, without knowing what actually happened. Who knows, even when you felt that it didnt go all that well, it might actually be a respectable scores. Its not unheard of, in fact a few of ScoreChase GMAT and MBA forum members got pretty decent scores even when they thought the things have gone south. 

There is always a second chance, with more and more schools accepting the latest scores, you don't have to worry about them considering your 'bad score'.  

If you already know which schools you are aiming at, just contact them before hand and find out what is their policy in terms of the GMAT scores. That will give you better information on what you want to do - cancel the scores or not.

Our GMAT Druids (tutors) are putting together an online seminar/crash courses on Maths concepts to help ScoreChase members. It seems quite a few members find the need to brush up concepts on Math [From discussion on this thread http://www.scorechase.com/gmat/showthread.php?p=47543] and a quick overview can help build concepts. 

1 seminar would have 3 topics (depends on the length of topics) and would last about 2 hrs [about 45 min each topic]. But the question we have for you is:

  Which topics would you like to see on the seminar? [please be specific]. Please post your suggestions here: Topic suggestions for online Math Crash Course. 

[If there are more than 3 requested topics, we will have multiple seminars spanning those topics]. Once we have decided the first three topics, we will announce a date for the web seminar.
