Diminishing returns of retaking the GMAT? 16 Aug 2024, 21:48

Hi. I was very fortunate to score 775 on GMAT FE recently. I've been scoring higher than that on practice tests, and am fairly confident that with a couple tries I could do better. Will there be any material difference in how a business school / masters program views my application if I improve my score?

In addition, if anyone needs free advice on GMAT techniques, I'm happy to help but may not respond instantly.

Thank you very much!

­Hi. Congrats! On achieving a high gmat score. Could you please share some tips for the DI section? As I have observed it is the most under-performed section compared to the other sections.

Thanks!

I think for DI, as is for all the sections, the important thing is to identify the type of mistakes you make and drill those questions hard. You can segregate them by question type (e.g. you might be particularly weak at two part analysis) and by the nature of the error (careless mistake, conceptual error, misreading the question).

­Hi callmeishmael,

775 is amazing:). There is not need to retake the GMAT. Now, just focus on your applications.
