Hi,
Background - 28 years old, Married Indian Male, Graduate from NIFT, GPA 3.2, 6 year experience in design and creative field (fashion and retail).
My Gmat journey began in July 2015 when i seriously started studying for GMAT. Scored a 580 (Q45 V 25) on my first attempt in Oct 15th 2015.
After 1 year 3 days of rigorous studying i took Gmat yesterday i.e on 18th October and scored a 700 (Q48 V 38). Though i had scored 730 and a 740 in my previous GMAT prep exam 3 and exam 4 respectively, but in the latest gmat prep exams 5 and 6, i scored 700 in both of them, with the breakup of Q48 and V38 in gmat prep 6 exam being the same as the official gmat exam.
I can't express in words that how this journey of 580 to 700 took a physical, mental, social toll on me. I started from level ZERO, with no maths and a screwed verbal ability for the past 10 years (which includes my 4 years at NIFT , where studies have nothing to do with any sort of Math or Verbal). I got myself completely isolated from the world, no https://gmatclub.com/chat, no social interactions,no gaming (I am a diehard PC gamer, won a few tournaments too, hope i would have utilised that time in studying/reading good literature), even in office i used to avoid people and general discussions, whatever time i got, be it in office or at home, i only thought of and studied for GMAT and NOTHING else. My wife had been very patient and supportive with my studies, couldn't have reached 700 without her support. I am looking forward for ISB and IIM's for 1 year courses. Do you guys think it will be good enough? Should i retake?
PS: One question that i got in Quant completely surprised me as it was a question from Manhattan CATs, the one with a rectangular metal sheet of width 6cm and height 10 cm to be made into a cylinder and answer options were with different volumes with the 6 and 10 as the circumference of the base of that cylinder (people who have taken 6 Manhattan CATS would know this question). I thought GMAC did not take any question from any other source.

Hello trkswr,
I think that a 700 is a good score! Retaking the exam all depends on you: If you have time (2-3 months) before the deadline, I'd recommend that you retake the GMAT. It will only do you good. If you're short on time, I'd recommend that you focus on your essays. You have more chance to get accepted with a 700 and a very good essay than with a 750 and a poor essay.
Good luck with this!
