I just got a 740 (42V,48Q), but only 3 on IR. I was tired by the end, but did much better on IR last time when I got a 7 and 710 (40V,48Q) overall. I had canceled that first score, but do you think it makes sense to now uncancel that score to show schools or just roll with the second test? I am targeting Wharton and HBS. Have a strong undergrad GPA of 3.9, community service/extracurriculars, etc.

Hey there, 740 is a brilliant score for your top choice schools.
IR section is more of a hygiene factor, you need like a 6 to make sure that you won't get rejected. Just because of that one thing.
Personally, you may redeem your old score for a fees. It's perfectly okay to let your old score out as a 710 is an amazing score still.
Schools such as Duke Fuqua are a brilliant example of schools that seek persistence in Application.
That said, there could be many ways to explain that IR score of 3 on your "Additional Essay" part. By producing a plausible reason such as, getting sick when that started etc.
Most schools only check your latest scores. Although there have been only a select few cases when schools averaged it.
But in your case it seems to work positively as both scores are good enough.
Also you have a low Quant Score (hate to point that out). Schools look for percentiles. Yes the total is great, percentile wise you might still be around 67th percentile.
If you can indeed retake, make sure to touch a 50 in Quant, as it will enhance your candidacy.
