Hi guys,
after studying for almost 5 months with TTP, I went for the real GMAT and scored 730 (Q50, V39), IR6. Even though I realize is not a bad score at all, I feel like I could have done better... Attached are my mock tests results, all taken in realistic conditions.
I felt extremely anxious before the test, but I can't say for sure that was the cause of a lower than average verbal... being a non-native speaker it could also be a matter of luck. What do you guys suggest? I feel like retaking, even though I'm planning to apply to M7 and other T16 schools in R1 and I haven't started with the other aspects of the application, TOEFL included.
Thank you guys

Congratulations on your score!
Your practice scores look like you have potential to do better. There’s always the question of is it worth getting a higher score and sometimes it may be. Sometimes schools are willing to provide scholarships to candidates with higher scores so if you feel you can get another 20 or maybe 30 points to get to 99th percentile that would be a pretty awesome achievement plus would have benefits of scoring perhaps a scholarship in age top 20 school.
We’re these gmat prep tests?
On the other hand, almost everyone who walks out of the test center feels they could have done better. People tend to overestimate how much they can improve by merely tweaking small things such as not being too nervous or other elements.
I would encourage you to do a little bit more of refresh but not wait more than 15 days to retake. 30 days max. Because you do you have a chance to improve your score but also you can lose it and score less.
Finally, since it does not seem like you are a Southeast Asian male engineer, it looks like the score is good enough for admissions so in the grand scheme of things you probably don’t have to retake. The score is well on par with average GMAT scores at all of the top schools but my guess nobody likes to be average 😂 and since there’s nothing you can do right now for applications anyway so you might as well give it another shot and maybe get another 20 or 40 points 👍

If you decide to retake/focus heavily on Verbal, be careful to not completely abandon your Quant to the extent it becomes a bit rusty. Would leave a slightly bitter taste were the Verbal to go up but the Quant went down a bit, for example.
