I took my GMAT exam 3 days ago and i scored 690(q50, v34) in my first attempt. I like to give my second attempt in this coming month. I did questions from gmatclub and veritas lesson books only. Last month i was ill for 15 days so i didn't take any mock test, not even gmatprep. I thank gmatclub moderators, experts and authors. Your contribution is crucial to my score. I attribute my success to all of you.

Hi rest,

First off, a 690/Q50 is a fantastic score (it's just shy of the 90th percentile overall), so you can apply to any Business Schools that interest you. As such, a retest is probably not necessary.

1) What Business Schools are you planning to apply to?
2) When are you planning to apply?

The reason for retaking is, i am not satisfied with my score. My target was 700+ with q51 and v35+, but missed.

The answers are
1) nus, hec(France),indiana,lbs, manchester and isb at present. if i score 700+ in retake, i will apply top universities.
2) i will apply for sept 2016

Hi rest,

GMAC has publicly stated that a Test Taker's official Score is within +-30 points of actual ability, so you could very well have hit a 700+/Q51... but you made a couple of silly/little mistakes and it cost you those missing points. At your current scoring level, the GMAT becomes really 'sensitive' to little mistakes - if you make too many, then that next 'level up' becomes impossible to achieve. This is all meant to say that the 'issue' is really about 'precision' - to increase this score, you have to do MORE precise work on the pad (and NOT in your head).

To get your score past 700, you would benefit the most by pushing your verbal score. Your quant is close to the perfect score, and I am pretty confident that you can round that to 51 with targeted practice at the upper level of difficulty. But definitely pour your energy in to verbal to cruise past 700.

cheers,
