Should I take the risk and give GRE even with scores that don’t match my expectations because I wouldn’t get time later

I currently work as a consultant with ~5 years work ex.
I have done my bachelors from NIT and was planning for ISB this year.
The issue is that I am getting around 320 in the 4-5 GRE mocks that I’ve given and I want to aim for R1 as I’ve been studying for a few weeks now because I could mange a bit with work but from next month my work is going to get hectic so I might get 0 time to prep.
My aim was to give the test on 18th this month, just wanted a suggestion if I should take the risk and go ahead with 18th because later on I might get out of touch because of work.

how do I stop getting sad because of my sad and overworked partner ?

I am 25(F) and my partner is 27(M) we’ve been together for 2 years now and since the past year and a half he usually remains sad and frustrated because of work and sometimes because of things he also isn’t aware about.

He works in consulting so his work is bad and very hectic. He still does try to take out some time for me and we talk late at night and morning when he’s leaving for work but between that he’s just absent.
I feel like a bad person and bad girlfriend for feeling guilty and putting extra pressure on him by just being sad because of this even though he does try his best.

We lived together earlier so it was better at that time, we used to drink late at night and have fun even when work was hectic for him but now because I live away we can only talk on calls. And when he ignores me the entire day and forgets to return my calls for hours I feel neglected.

Then I later apologise to him and feel very guilty when he also apologises to me for not giving time when he’s at work.

I know it’s not his fault but how do I stop feeling like this because I don’t want him to take extra stress because of me.

TL;DR: My boyfriend (27M) and I (25F) have been together for 2 years. His consulting job has been extremely stressful for the past 1.5 years, leaving him emotionally drained and often unavailable during the day. He still makes an effort to call me in the mornings and at night, but since we no longer live together, I feel neglected when he forgets to return my calls or is absent for hours. I end up feeling hurt, then guilty for adding to his stress because I know he’s doing his best. How can I stop feeling neglected and manage these emotions without putting more pressure on him?
