Hi everybody,
Just talked to my OR (who is great) about retaking the OAR after 31 days. He strongly advised me not to because he's scared I'll make a much worse score the 2nd go-around.
I asked if there were any other concerns with my retaking it and my application being submitted on time, and he didn't give any.
So I just wanted to double-check with you guys:
1. My OR says his deadline for submitting my pack is Dec 23 (or really Dec 19 because of people going on leave). If I take the OAR Dec. 16, we could theoretically submit my whole application on the 16th or 17th, is that correct? Are there any parts of the application that I have to wait until after my test results to do?
2. I'm applying for the INTEL board in February and my OR says there's another board in April. Is it strategically better to be part of that Feb. board since it's earlier in the year? Is it "bad" to submit so close to that board's December due date?
I made a 53 on the OAR today - felt very good about the Reading and Mechanical sections but I botched up the Math by not paying attention to time, left 5-10 questions completely blank...I'm confident I can score better, but the last-minute deadline does make me a little nervous.
Thanks for your opinions, guys.
