Hi all,
Firstly I must say this forum has been quite helpful in my run up to the GMAT. So thanks to one and all here.
So I finally took the GMAT today and got a score which I was somewhat pleased with on one hand but also quite disappointed on the other. I got a score of 760 - Q49 (81 percentile) and V44(98 percentile), and IR - 4 (37th percentile!).
As you can imagine, my cause of concern is two-fold:
1) A lopsided score with a poor quant score.
2) A shockingly disappointing IR score! Had never scored this low in the mocks.
I had taken the GMAT Prep and
MGMAT tests. The 6
MGMAT scores were never great (in the range of 690 - 720). The GMAT Prep scores were as follows:
1st - 650 (before preparation) - Q41, V38, IR 7
2nd - 770 - Q50, V45, IR 8
Re-downloaded 1st - 770 - Q50, V44, IR 8
Re-downloaded 2nd - 770 - Q50, V45, IR 8.
Needless to say, my IR score of 4 has me wallowing in agony. I need some advice on whether I should retake the test to hopefully improve my IR score and maybe get a few extra points in Quant.
On a related note, the grand old question - any idea if an IR score can bring my application down. I am targeting the top 5 US schools hence the extra pressure.
Would greatly appreciate any inputs.
Thanks a lot!
