So I recently took the online GMAT and got a 710(Q49,V38) with my OG practice test scores 650, 710,740,710,740,760. So when I recieved the 710 online I wasn't too upset as it wasn't outside my practice test range and I assumed there would be some hardship with the real test vs. the practice tests. I do believe that a 730+ is possible and believe it will be a combo of me doing better in SC and improving my verbal timing.
My question now is there are retake options available in two weeks and without the ESR from the online test, I can only work on raising my verbal sections I assume are bad and sharpening my quant. I plan on studying these next two weeks on SC and CR.
As I have the 710 as a fallback, is there any disadvantages to taking it in two weeks and seeing how I perform in person? Has anyone had any experience going from online to in-person quickly?

Hi AaronEzra,
First off, a 710/Q49 is an outstanding Score, so you can comfortably apply to any Business Schools that interest you. As such, a retest is probably not necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

There's no 'harm' in retaking the GMAT (but again, it's probably not necessary - and your time might be better spent working on other aspects of your application). The biggest differences in the Exam options are really in the 'formats' (for example, when you take the GMAT at a Test Facility, you can take the test sections in different a different order, there are 8-minute 'breaks' and you will likely need to wear a face-mask). As such, you might need some time to train for the specifics of that format.

Hi AaronEzra,
Given how you were scoring on your practice exams, I can’t see any disadvantage to you taking the GMAT again in two weeks. If you score lower than 710, you can always cancel. The good news is that you have a 710 in your back pocket.
So, if you decide to retake and would like some advice regarding your study plan, feel free to reach out.
Good luck!!
