Hie everyone!!
i gave my GMAT FE yesterday, and scored 655 (93 %ile) with splits as below
Q85 - 89%ile (1 wrong only, Q1)
V82 - 79%ile (13 CR and 10 RC, total 9 wrong; 3 consecutive wrongs at the end because of time issues)
DI80 - 86%ile (9 wrong, with too complex graphs and two part analysis that i ever have faced in 7-8 mocks i have written in past 1 month)
i made 1 silliest of mistake, i solved Q1 correctly but somehow chose wrong option. it was definitely a 600 level question.
i normally have a photogenic memory only in Quant PS section so i remember the question, which was based on the concept of work, rate and time.
my question is:
1. Should i retake my exam again??
basis below:
a). i have attempted gmat classic thrice and last was in 2020 sept with 660 (q47, v34, ir4)
b). i am from non technical, non engineering background, with decent work ex close to 12 years(i feel so) (w/ international exposure)
the b schools i am targeting , most of them have median less than or equal to 93%ile, don't know whether in 1 year this would go down and how much it would go down!
c). had i not made this mistake, i would have got Q90 and my total score would have been 685 (98%ile) approx. 740 or so!
d). i can try pushing this score by putting little more effort in DI even a point or 2 will raise this to 695-705.
e). i will start applying few of the b schools this year and as some b-schools deadlines are over, i can only apply in late sept.

Hi SiAk.
Unless you think it's basically a lock that, with your profile and 655 on the GMAT, you'll get into your target schools, doing a little more work on DI and retaking to score in the upper 600s to low 700s seems to make sense. For one thing, it would be nice to show up with Q90.

For time management, using question/time markers may help. For RC, becoming familiar with how inference questions work could be useful as well. If you find CR assumptions questions slippery, the negation technique could be worth learning/checking out.
