Hi!
I just took the GMAT Focus and scored a 695 (Q83, V85, D85). I’m very much targeting HSW, and only want to go to an M7 or Haas (the loans aren’t worth it if not). I have a 3.8 GPA in Computer Science from a top 25 undergrad and I am currently a software engineer (will have ~4-5 years of experience when I apply).
IF a 695 is truly equivalent to a 740/750 then I am very happy with this score. The new scoring throws me off, however, and it’s making me nervous — especially since very few schools have reported on GMAT Focus scores. I self studied for the test for 3 months and received a 695, would it be worth more studying more and/or paying for a service to possibly raise the score? Or is the ROI too small?

Hi michele13,
695 is a great score—congrats! Given your strong GPA, solid work experience, and target schools like HSW, the M7, and Haas, you’re already in a competitive spot. That said, now that you’ve got this 695 in your back pocket, there’s really nothing to lose by going for a retake if you think you can push it higher. Just curious, what were you scoring on your practice tests?"

If you're confident you can score better and have the flexibility to retake, the question may be: why not? Perhaps think over it/see how you feel after a couple of days. In case you feel it would bug you to not give it at least one more go, you could schedule another one. There's a 16-day waiting period between attempts.
