Hi guys !
I just took the GMAT Focus today. I scored 605 (so 650 on the old GMAT), and don't have time to retake as the deadline is next week for round 4 MiM applications.
I scored high in Quant - 86, 91st percentile, but veryyy low in Data Insights, 28th percentile. I compltely ran out of time and had to answer randomly the last 8 questions. I never scored this low in any mock, I really ran out of time and panicked.
My score was literally destroyeddd by this Data Insights performance lol (I got 83 in Verbal).
Do you know if schools usually look more at a Quant score than a Data Insights score, or such a percentile is like really a red flag in an application, despite a strong Quant, and good Verbal?
Thank you very much ! :')

Hi. For the GMAT, AdComs will look at your total score mostly. If it’s within their acceptable range, they don’t care how you got it they may have some questions if you quant super low and you can’t add numbers together but they don’t care about verbal or data insights at all…
So if your score is within the ballpark of the average, you’re good to go. If it’s not, I think he would benefit from a retake.
I would argue that if you’re not comfortable with your score, you may want to retake it within two weeks, 16 days that is. you can also take a little bit more time if you need to.
While it is completely possible that this will be not useful and you can get in with your original score, but I retake can help you to solidify that admission. Can maybe even help with the scholarship if it’s a meaningful bump and in the worst case, if you score is not considered because it’s submitted after the deadline, you can always use it in the fall season. I know time may be tight with applications due so make the best decision with the resources you have but if you’re thinking about retaking, doing it sooner is usually better.
