720 eval [#permalink] New post   20 Jun 2020, 08:47
Hi All,

I retook the GMAT today and have some doubts that I was hoping some of the experts could clarify.

GMAT 1 (Online): 660 Q48 V34 IR5
GMAT 2: 700 Q44 V41 IR7
GMAT 3: 720 Q45 V44 IR4

As can be seen there is something happening with my Quant ever since I took the GMAT 2(I have never scored under 47 on mocks, typically Quant has been my stronger part having engineering background and I thought the online reflected my real level) .

Looking at my overall application I feel comfortable with a 720 but do not feel that well applying to certain school (Sloan) with a Quant of 44-45.
I have very limited options to retake in the upcoming months so I wanted to hear your ideas.

Is this something that can be explained on the Optional sections of the application? Maybe submit the Online GMAT as well so they see the Q48 or the progression on Verbal (not a native speaker).

Any input is appreciated!

Hi pfrancisco,

Hmm, that is a bit odd that you are not seeing as high Quant scores. But the overall increases and verbal improvements are great!

Yes, typically for top schools like Sloan I like to see a Q score of at least 47, so I do think that could be a weak point if you just submit your highest overall score. That is definitely something that could be explained in the optional section. I also think it's a good idea to report both scores -- in fact, I might just report all three scores to be fully transparent and let them see your full history.

Good luck!
Kate

Hi Kate,

Thank you so much for your response.

I even have a previous GMAT from last august that I took a bit after I started preparing properly but I never consider it since it was so low, so the real situation would be:

GMAT 1: 640 Q46 V32 IR5
GMAT 2: (Online): 660 Q48 V34 IR5
GMAT 3: 700 Q44 V41 IR7
GMAT 4: 720 Q45 V44 IR4

What do you think?

Hi again!
Yes, the 1st attempt doesn't really help that much from a scoring perspective but it does show steady progress overall and your second highest quant score. I would probably report that one too (unless you had previously cancelled it) though I have heard some schools say they look questionably on more than 3 attempts. Might be worth checking on other Sloan focused forums here or on their website / FAQs to see if they address multiple attempts on the GMAT. If they don't have any specific guidelines/preferences, then I think it should be fine to mention the full history.
Thanks!
Kate
