Hi All,
I received my scores back yesterday and got a 720 overall (super stoked with this) but with a very high verbal score (98%), an okay quant score (55%) and very bad IR and AW scores (38% and 17% respectively). I had admittedly only spent a day or two studying, and am frustrated that my high score has been polluted by bad IR and AW scores. To be honest I was so unprepared that I didn’t even realise the AW section was meant to be in essay format.
I really want to get into a Top 10 school, and still have a year before I need to start applying. Should I retake? Thank you in advance for any help!

Hi etf,
Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so if you really just studied for a couple of days, then you could potentially score a lot higher in the Quant, IR and AWA if you put in a bit more time and effort.
You're ultimately asking Admissions questions, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and application plans. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

What is your Quant sectional score? I'm guessing it's in the early 40s. Well, it's is far easier to improve score on the Quant section than on the Verbal section. So, you already are at an advantage.
By the way, congratulations for getting a 720 on the test. We've the exact same score, in reverse order in terms of Sectional scores. I am taking the GMAT again, to improve my Verbal score.
