600 and 660- Retake or no retake?

Hi ExoticaBoson,

My suggestion would be to wait and see how you do with the applications you have already submitted. I suggest this for three reasons.
1. Logistics.
You don't know if you will be able to get the new score to the schools you applied to in time. They may not accept scores after the deadline, or if they do, you may not be able to take the test before they review your application.
2. Probability of improvement is low
I cannot guarantee anything, but unless you study a lot over a reasonable period of time, it is unlikely that your score will change significantly. If you really want to improve your score, take a prep course.
3. You may get in anyway. (Actually, this should be #1!)
Your score of 660 with a 49 in quant is perfectly respectable The score is within the range for

Arizona State https://wpcarey.asu.edu/mba/full-time/admissions/class-profile.cfm
NUS https://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/full_time_mba_profiles/singapore.html

So relax, at least until you hear how things go on the rest of your application -- which will depend probably more on your work experience, GPA, and quality of your essays.
