Hi haxxx043,

I understand your concern, but it's actually a bit more complicated than that. Many Business Schools view an Applicant's Quant Scaled Score as an indicator of how that Applicant might handle the 'academic side' of the Program - and a Q43 won't impress anyone. That score implies that you did fairly well on most of the "math" questions that you saw on Test Day, but you made a number of little mistakes throughout the section and you missed out on LOTS of 'strategy-based' points. Thus, the Q47 would likely be far better for your applications, but it would really be best to hear from the Admissions Experts about how you might proceed (and how the specific Schools that you're interested in might view receiving these two Official Score Reports).

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
