Hi,
I took GMAT FE in Dec'24 and scored a 595 because of a technical issue (latency) during quant section. Despite answering question #20 and clicking submit on #21 multiple times, the timer kept going and ran out on question #21 screen. When I received my scores, my quant percentile was 26th with the last two questions showing unattempted in the official report. I contacted GMAC support team reg. the issue but could not get my score revised.
I retook the test a month later again and scored 665 with my quant at 88th percentile (thankfully no technical issues this time).
Should I report both my scores in the INSEAD application? My concern is the excruciatingly low quant score in the first attempt which in turn dragged my overall score down too. I'm wondering how will the admissions committee review it and if that'll affect my chances negatively. Summary of both attempts below:
Test 1 - 595 (Verbal 90th, Quant 26th, DI 89th)
Test 2 - 665 (Verbal 84th, Quant 88th, DI 89th)
Please share your advice.

Hi. Happy to help. Maybe I am being tired after a long day but what is the value of reporting your first score? high verbal score? is that it?
Unless I missed something else, I would absolutely NOT report the first score. There is absolutely no reason. Imagine you are dating a woman or a guy (not sure your gender) but let's say you fall in love with a beautiful woman, how would you feel if on her dating profile, she would show you her photo from high school with some crazy hair and pimples, etc?
OK. Not sure my analogy worked at all. Probably different but I don't see how your score or photo with pimples is really going to improve your chances

Thank you for responding. I'm very new to GMAT club and this is my first time applying for any MBA program via GMAT score. Thr INSEAD application mentioned that I need to entire score history, thus the question.
I've been hearing that there is no way for INSEAD to know about my test 1 scores unless I choose to send my official score report but I just wanted to check with experts here. Sorry for these basic questions.
