testing 5/22 .. freaking out

5/22 was my pushback date from my original exam date, and honestly, I feel like I have not improved on my full-length scores as much as I wanted to AT ALL. Avg around 500 😞

I’ve been studying for the past 5 ish months while still being in undergrad and finishing my senior year, and I feel like I’ve put so much effort into this with very little to show for it. I’m having the worst anxiety right now and feel sick to my stomach. I’m not sure whether I should void at this point or keep pushing, try to stay positive, and see what happens.

Based on my average FL scores, I feel conflicted and stressed. I really don’t want to take two gap years, but it honestly feels like I may not have a choice right now.

I don’t know if this is just a rant or if I’m looking for advice, but I could really use some perspective from people who understand this process. When I call my family for support, the response is usually, “I would hate to see you take too much time off,” and that just makes me feel even worse, even though I know they probably mean well.

Has anyone else been in this position close to test day? How did you decide whether to void, score, or move forward?
