My initial reaction was to say that you should not retake. However, no one knows how IR will be judged 2 years from now. Since the section is so new, there's not much historical data. Nevertheless, I don't think you need to retake just for a lower IR score.

ShannonWong,

I 100% agree with your decision. A 740 is an UHmazing score! You don't want to risk a lower score. No need to spend $250 and lots of your time.

Regards,

Elizabeth

Your score report just occupy one rows in your CV. Moreover, IR is just new section of GMAT score in recent years. So, I don't think you should retake. You have to wait more 31 days to retake again. I think you should spend more time on dumping yourself in researching, writing essay and preparing for your application.
