Hi guys!
I took my first GMAT test last month and just finished my second test today. Here are my scores:
The first time: 680 (Q49, V32), IR6, AWA 4 (I didn't even finish my essay last time...)
The second time: 640 (Q50, V26), IR8. AWA unknown since I cancelled the score right away, but I'm pretty sure it is much better than the last one.
So I got 40 points lower than my first GMAT score but got a better IR and AWA score. As it is closed to some of the deadlines of my applications, it seems I would have to submit some applications with the score I have. If I'm not going to take another test, would the second score help or hurt my applications? Would it worth paying the fee to reinstate the score?
Also, I'm not sure if I should take the test one more time (maybe next month), or just take all the time I have to write and polish my personal statement.
Looking forward to some advice! Thanks in advance to anyone willing to read and reply!

The first score is obviously better than the second one. IR 6 in first attempt will not be the deciding factor .However AWA may be a concern.
640 , the second score, in my opinion is low. Additionally, you don't know what will the AWA score be of this second test. It can be 4 again or may be 5. But the main scores 640 and 680 will be the deciding factor.
You can reinstate the second score if you want. In my opinion it may look bad since the gap is of 40 points. It also depends on colleges you are applying to. If the cut off there is 620, 640 won't look bad but 680 will boost your chances. If the cut-off is 650, obviously you should go with 680.
I hope that answers your question.
