Hey everyone,
So, I left my job and decided to take the GMAT with only a month of prep. But, at the last minute, I wanted to reschedule because I wasn't fully prepared. Due to laziness, I forgot to reschedule and ended up having to travel to another city urgently for the exam.
Here are my scores:
Total: 675
Quantitative: 90/90 (100%)
Data Interpretation: 80/90 (86%)
Verbal: 80/90 (60%)
My strength is in quant, so I planned to tackle that section first while my mind was fresh. I got all the quant questions right. However, since I hadn't started preparing for verbal and was really tired when I got to it, my performance there suffered.
Overall, I'm happy with my score, but I feel there's a big gap between my quant and verbal scores.
Do you think it's worth applying to colleges with this score, or should I retake the exam?

@vrish - Did you score better in your mocks in Verbal? And were there any specific sub-sections that pulled the score down?
Whether a 60th percentile (Verbal) would be of concern will depend on which B-school you look at. Having said that, if you feel you can improve it, you should definitely go for a retake.

Hi Vrish,
I think you should go for a retake as your Quant score is pretty impressive and with minor improvement in Verbal, you can improve your score and increase your chances. I would have gone for it, for sure!
