Hello! I scored a 740 on my first attempt, back in 2012 but the scores will be expiring soon. I decided to retake the GMATs for Round 1 next year or Round 2 this year and unfortunately received a 730 (Q-49 / V-40). I knew I underperformed and made a few silly mistakes because I was hitting 750 on the GMATPrep tests the last few weekends (timed, simulated conditions).
What is your advice? Should I:
1) Retake the GMATs as I'm pretty sure I can get a 750 (Q-50 / V41) within the next month?
2) Apply Round 2 with my 740 score & focus on the rest of my apps?
3) Retake to shoot for a higher score and apply Round 1 next year?
Unfortunately I'm part of the traditional finance demo and gunning for a scholarship, hence the inclination to retake and aim for a 750+.
Much thanks,
S.

I would not recommend retaking the test at this point. You should focus your energies and efforts on the other parts of your application. Scoring in the 750+ does not necessarily guarantee you a scholarship so you shouldn't retake with that specific intent.

Hi luckysheep,
First off, both of your scores are outstanding (they're both well above the 90th percentile overall), so you should apply to any Business Schools that interest you. As such, a retest is not necessary. You're ultimately asking Admissions questions though, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:
