Hi Experts, last week I scored a 670 with IR 4, q49, v32. My sectional scores in quant was DS 50 and PS 49. I had also seen that for the last 10 questions in quant, my accuracy had the max fall. The quarter wise accuracy for quant was 100, 86, 86, 79.
For the verbal part CR was 40, RC 36, SC 23. The strange part is SC accuracy was always high in gmatPrep and I had almost similar conditions(the only missed condition was that I was taking the test at home). I had finished the quant section 5 mins before, and was worried about what went wrong as I got easier questions at the end. The first SC question itself seemed so tough. At the end, there was less time for the final 6 questions, completing them in 7 mins. The last 6 questions had 3 RC questions. The break up of verbal section in percentage term is 75, 71, 86, 62.
The big question is what to do now? One more thing, for IR I skipped MSR and there were 2 of them. But I had 6 mins left for IR. Is that a good strategy, specifically when I am extra nervous?
My GPrep quant scores varied from q49 to q50 and verbal from v32 to 40

I am also skipping the IR, or just answering the easy questions in IR so that I have more energy left for quant and verbal. Is that a good strategy? For the verbal part CR was 40, RC 36, SC 23.

Hi shamim2k14,
First off, a 670/Q49 is a strong score (it's above the 80th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:
ask-admission-consultants-124/
From your post, you seem to be referring to the ESR. Can you post the FULL ESR here? There are likely some additional parts of the report that we can use to better define what you should be focusing on if you choose to retest.
