Hi GMATClub Experts,
I just gave my first GMAT exam. I have scored 710 out of 800 and the score details in each section is below
1. Integrated Reasoning: 7
2. Quantitative: 49
3. Verbal: 38
I have not yet received the score for AWA.
I would say I was pretty nervous when the exam started, and was extremely anxious when I saw the first 3-4 verbal questions. 38 in verbal is a bit disappointing for me because I was consistently scoring 40 plus in my mock exams and 740 or more overall. However, unlike my mock tests, I felt very nervous for the initial 15 minutes or so during the real GMAT. Probably that hurt my verbal score a little. Surprisingly, I have never scored even 6 in the integrated reasoning section in my mocks. I almost did not prepare at all for this section. So I got lucky to score 7.
Coming back to my profile, I have worked with Johnson Controls for 7 years and I am an Instrumentation Engineer from West Bengal University of Technology (I graduated in 2011 with a GPA of 4). I have overseas experience of 4 years (1 year in the US, 3 years in Singapore, 3 months in Qatar). I am currently working as Product Owner/Business Analyst. I am currently working with Johnson Controls, in the Building Management System domain.I am planning to do the MBA from the top 20-40 US B schools, preferably with a scholarship. I need your advice on whether 710 is a good score with my profile, or if you would advice me to give the GMAT again. I would also appreciate your advice regarding the colleges I should aim for with such a score and profile.
Thanks in advance!!!
