Hi,
so I come to you with quite common question, should I retake?
I've just received my GMAT Online scores (after 2,5 business days so not bad timing) and they are as follow: Overall 710, Q51, V34, IR 8, AWA N/A.
Im pretty happy with my quant (Still, I was believing to score that mystique 52) but I was scoring it regularly throughout my mocks so it is not such a surprise (same case with 8 in IR, not a surprise for me).
Im disappointed though with verbal, cuz it was always my big problem, but always was scoring at that 36-39 level. I've been learning with manhattan books and CR was very easy for me (90%+ rate on hard questions from OG) RC was so so but SC I was never able to understand. I read all theory from book couple of times but in the end was not able to do hard questions (also english is not my native language, so I have no instinct in those questions)
I want to apply in R1 for MiM at LBS, 2022 intake and I was hoping to get a merit scholarship there. I have pretty nice profile IMO, a lot of extracurricular activities at university and outside of it (various projects at society, I was team captain in sport team for couple years etc) GPA just above 3.6, various competitions (e.g. I was at International Economics Olympiad in St. Petersburg and scored quite well in High School, while at uni I was in regional finals of P&G CEO Challenge and I got few more, various competitions in my CV) Also got some work experience in banking and fintech industries and Im in process of applying for internship in consulting for upcoming summer. I wanted to top it up with score around 740-750 (Q51, V40 was my goal) to maximize my chances to get that scholarship.
Would you say that getting that Verbal score to areas of 40 will make significant difference in scholarship evaluation? Or Q51 and IR 8 are enough and I should focus on other parts of my application?
If retaking is the way I should follow, what adjustments in preparation you recommend? I have heard gmat whiz with it's adjustable course is a good way to score high in verbal?
I know that in the end it is my call and I will spent significant amount of time on thinking about it, but every comment from more experienced people will be appreciated.
Best,
Jakub

Hi Jakub,
First off, a 710/Q51 is an outstanding Score, so you can comfortably apply to any Business Schools that interest you. As far as scholarship opportunities are concerned, those opportunities will likely depend on the Schools/Programs that you plan to apply to. As such, 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:

When should you retake the GMAT?
There is a scope for improvement in Verbal. So, in case you want to retake GMAT, I can definitely help you with the study strategy. To suggest you the further plan of action, I would need a few details about your GMAT study strategy, your weak areas in Verbal and the approach you used to solve questions. This information will help me understand your concerns and guide you in a better way. We can get in touch over a call and have a detailed discussion on the same. You can use the below link to get in touch with me.
