Hello!
I took my first GMAT about 3 weeks ago and scored 640 (IR 2), I expected to score better, thus, I am preparing to retake it. For IR especially, I have not prepared almost at all.
However, as there is a little time between my first attempt and the application deadline I have to take the GMAT Online a day or two before the deadline. The University says it accepts the proof that I took a GMAT and the Official Reports can be sent later. Class profile is GMAT 600-740, with no IR mentioned.
Realistically, I expect to score about 680 (IR 4) in that second attempt.
May it raise a red flag for admissions officers that I took GMAT 2 days before a deadline and thus, can it be counterproductive? or is it OK, is it something that many people do?
In which of the two cases mentioned above (First: GMAT 640, Official report submitted with the application, Second: GMAT ≈680 Taken 2 days before, booking information submitted with the application) is chances for my application to be considered higher?

Hello, K2020. I have read nothing in the forum about anyone experiencing drawbacks to submitting scores, official or provisional, just prior to the deadline. Many students wait until the last minute to submit what they feel best represents them. If you do earn a higher score, then so much the better. To put one concern to rest, the IR section never really caught on. If your total score is in a good spot and the rest of your application package is promising, then your chance of gaining admission is as high as it could be.
Best of luck to you.
