I took the GMAT last month and got 760 (Q50/V44).
Thinking that I probably missed Q51 (and 770) by a single quant question based on ESR, I took the exam again.
On my second try, I got another 760 but with a lower verbal score (Q50/V41).
Given that the Q and IR scores were the same (and the AWA score will probably be the same as well) but that my verbal score went down, I decided to cancel the score.
I won't be taking any more exams (I accepted the fact I just cannot get Q51).
And I am wondering whether I should reinstate the second score or keep it cancelled?
I understand that it may not make much difference, but which would look better to the adcoms?
I think having two scores shows that I was persistent and that 760 on the first try was not a fluke.
On the other hand, Q50/V41 doesn't usually result in 760 (I feel like this combination is more of a 740 or 750), and V44 alone may be more impressive than V44 and V41.

If you can get a 50 on quant, you probably can get a 51 as well. That said, there is no reason for you to keep the second score.

Congratulations on the 99%le and that two consecutively :D I wonder how could you get Q50 with just 1 question wrong. Was that 1 question wrong in 1st set of questions?
Also there is no point of keeping the second score.
