Getting the ESR of the 700 could be helpful to figure out next steps.

I did the online test, so there is no ESR.

The best way to increase your score is to master one weaker topic at a time to drive your score higher.

To master a weaker topic

- first, review the relevant concepts and strategies

- then do practice questions involving that topic UNTIMED until you're achieving high accuracy

- finally, work on reducing the time per question until you're correctly answering questions involving that topic at test pace

Then, move on to the next topic and do the same thing.

Hi miko2010,

To start, a 700 is an outstanding overall Score - so depending on the Quant and Verbal sub-scores and your Overall profile - it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. By extension, a retest might not be necessary.

There's certainly no harm in retesting, but before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) On what date did you take the Official GMAT and what were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores?
2) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
3) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
4) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
5) What is your overall goal score?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
