Hi,
I am relatively new to this forum (5+ months),however I would like to mention I am grateful to all the contributers of this forum because whenever I have had issues with questions I have found links or answers on GmatClub.You guys have helped me so very much. I scored a 610 in GMAT November last year, I gave the GMAT online last friday and I just got the results 740(Q49,V41)However to my dismay my IR score is below average (4)
Maybe because I gave the exam during early morning hours (Finished at 1am)or decided not to take the 5 min break (took only 1 min) I really cant figure out. My question is if I can adequately support my essay and other parts of my application will therebe a huge drawback because of my IR score ?
I am a little worried.Considering the prevailing pandemic situation in Kolkata it wont be possible for me to give the test again for quite a while. Any feedback would be helpful
P.s.I am targetting NUS,Oxford,Cambridge,Warwick,LSE, ISB and the IIM A ,B and C.
P.P.S I have an 8.11 CGPA in college and 9 years of work ex ,3 in IT and 6 in Insurance

First of all congratulations for scoring a great score. And applications for round 1 candidates are round the corner you must be filling them anytime soon.
Since you are short of time given you might have to defer your admission for another year if you decide to give GMAT again. But I don't think you should give GMAT Any way. Yes, IR does play an important role to judge reasoning skills of candidates but with an optional essay I think you will be able to get over with it.
I won't suggest you to defer admission just to score good in IR, you can always choose optional essays. Moreover I am sure experts will help you out of this situation soon.
Good Luck.

Hi,
There are 2 factors in this equation.
1. When I attended ISB's workshop in 2018 they openly announced that they don't even look at IR scores. IR is not even considered important by many top schools.
2. However, consulting firms such as McKinsey, BCG, Bain do take interest in your IR scores.
My 2 cents: If you are aiming for a career in Consulting then you might think about appearing for the exam again, else chill and apply!
