Hi guys,
This is my second post on the forum. I shared my first GMAT experience the day I took it and I am repeating the trend.
I took the GMAT exactly a month ago and as I mentioned earlier, I managed to score just a 640 (Q48, V30), although I was expecting something around 670-680. There were a lot of reasons which I accounted for such an under-performance and I was seeking help regarding the same. Fortunately, I stumbled upon this forum and wasn't disappointed. I was offered precious advice from some of the most awesome people.
So, here I am today, looking for another piece of advice. I took my GMAT today and managed to get a 50 point bump(Q49, V34). Although I was targeting 700, I am still not disappointed by this score. Not being ambitious, but I think I can touch the 700-710 mark. Is it worthy enough to spend another $250 and a month time for a 10-20 score hike, or should I shift my focus entirely to my application.
TIA
Nikhil

Hi Nikhil,
First off, a 690/Q49 is a fantastic score (it's just shy of the 90th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest is probably not necessary. GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability - and Business Schools know that, so a 700 or 710 is NOT appreciably better than a 690. 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. There's a Forum full of them here:
