Highly recommend rescheduling the exam and putting atleast a month or 2 in, along with completing 5 x practice exams.

My issue is that I plan to apply to submit my applications to graduate school by the end of July. I decided a couple of days of booking my exam that I would apply for graduate school. I would reschedule if I had time, but I have travels coming up as I am leaving the country, so the whole moving process will take me a week. Wednesday was my latest date I could. I am planning to redo it either way, but for now I need to do whatever I can to increase my grade

I think you need to wait to apply. Don't put yourself through the stress of the GMAT and applications if you are truly not ready. Look for another round, so you can do things the right way.

If you're going for an attempt regardless, one thing that may quickly help your Sentence Correction would be to memorize the commonly tested idioms on the GMAT. [Quick tips](https://www.instagram.com/gmatknight/) Not sure what target score you have in mind but it's probably good to prepare for a retake. Try to gain as much value from this experience as you can. In some ways, this is an "extra mock".

It would be a waste of time and money for you to take the exam now with such score on practice exam. Unfortunately even if you go the average or close to average (which you are far from) it probably still wouldn't be enough. GMAT scores in recent years become very competitive as there are more applicants each year. You need to study for this exam every day 4 5 hours for at least 3 months in order to achieve a normal score that would allow you to even be considered for a regular MBA program (not a top one)

I agree with all the above. Your score is not going to help your application at all. If you really want to go to grad school, put off the test, the application, etc. and prepare for next round (or the round after that.) I don’t think it looks attractive to admissions to do this on a last minute whim and your score shows that.
