Help on GMAT score to use [#permalink] New post   10 Apr 2021, 11:59
Hello! I am hoping to get some l thoughts on which score I should submit. Since I took the GMAT online, I believe there’s the option of sharing one or both. Also, I'm targeting H/S/W if that matters.

1. 730 (49Q, 41V, 8IR)
2. 740 (49Q, 41V, 5IR)

My second score is higher overall, but the quant and verbal had no change. Also, the IR score went down in the second test.

Will it reflect poorly to see the lack of improvement if I report both? If so, thoughts on which score to use? Thank you!

If 730 vs 740 (the number) is the deciding factor, you should stick to 740 .

But I see 730 has a good IR and that can be a boost. This is what I think. Experts advice is always the best.

730 (49Q, 41V, 8IR) VS 740 (49Q, 41V, 5IR)- I would suggest you to with 740, and carry some assessment-for why IR score is down in the second attempt-you may expect to get this question.
Hope it helps

Use the higher score. Have a reasoning for drop in IR if asked. Hope this helps and good luck

Hello qqgmat,

Thank you for sharing. I would say the 740 is better but suggest trying to share both if possible! This will not reflect poorly on your abilities just because there is not much change – both are solid scores.

If you would like help putting together strong applications for H/W/S, take a look at Personal MBA Coach’s comprehensive packages to learn how we can help enhance your candidacy.

Do not hesitate to send a note to scott@personalmbacoach.com to learn more.

Regards,

Hello qqgmat,

In such situations, it is best to report both; needless to say, this will not reflect poorly at all. If needed, one can always use the Optional Essay (or, an email, in case the school does have an Optional Essay) to address the lower IR.

All the best!
