Just did the GMAT for the first time today and got Q50/V40 750 for total score. However, I screwed up the IR section and only got a 5 (52 percentile). I got stuck at one question and spent way to much time on it and ended up rushing in the end. I plan to apply for some of the M7 business schools and am concerned that a low IR score like this will affect my chances... Just from a GMAT competitiveness standpoint, how much does it matter and do I need to retake the test to get a higher IR score?
Thanks,
Sam

Hey Sam,
Great job on that amazing GMAT score - well done sir! It's ok to mess up a tiny bit on one section - you rocked the test overall. Will it hurt your chances? Not enough to move the needle. If a school doesn't let you in, it won't be because your IR was a 5 and not a 7, y'know? But what I will say is just make sure the skills that the IR section tests for are found throughout the rest of your application. Make sure your resume showcases them, and your recommenders talk about them, etc.
You're off to a great start with that score, that's for sure!

Hi Sam,
Congrats on a top score! IR is not yet being used for admissions purposes. You should go ahead with your MBA apps.
Good luck!
