Hi Guys,
I took my GMAT today for the first time and landed the following breakdown in my score: IR-8 (92 percentile), Quant-47 (67 percentile), Verbal-40(91st percentile). Overall, 710 (91st percentile). 710 was my cutoff score to cancel my score. I did report my scores and I am neither upset nor thrilled with my score. I'm strongly considering taking it again for the following reasons:
1. I know I am capable of more than a 47 on Quant. I scored 740, 740, 720 on my last three GMATPrep tests with Quant consistently at 49 and verbal ranging between 39 and 41.
2. I thought I did pretty well on Quant but it was one particular Geometry PS question that I spent more than 2.5 minutes on (i did get it right) that I knew would lead to a compromise later on. (some nasty Number Property DS questions)
3. I was very very exhausted towards the end of the test. My verbal section ended with around 4 CR's and 1 SC. While I got the SC right, I was finding it tough to focus on CR's (my weakpoint)
4. I am in no particular hurry and believe that I can reach the 740 level.
Any advice folks?
Cheers,
Akhil

Hi Akhil,
First off, a 710/Q47 is an outstanding score (it's right around the 90th percentile overall), so you can apply to any Business School that interests you. As such, a retest is not likely to be necessary.
1) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
2) Do you know which Schools you're planning to apply to?

Hi Rich,
Thanks for the encouragement. My responses below:
1. I am planning to apply next September (Round 1) for the Fall 2017 intake. I currently have just over 2 years work ex as a Reinsurance Underwriter, working for Swiss Re in Singapore.
2. I am definitely interested in the Top 15 B-Schools. To name a few, INSEAD, Kellogg, Columbia Booth, NYU, Wharton etc.
I just feel that I am definitely capable of boosting my score to a 740ish level.
Cheers,
Akhil
