Hey, so I took the GMAT cold a week ago. I only did the two free practice GMAT prep exams, without any additional practice.
Come the day of the exam, I scored a 740 (45V, 47Q) which is super unbalanced, since my verbal score puts me in the 99th percentile while my quant score puts me in the 61st percentile. I didn't do so great on IR either. I got a 5. Also, I just received my score report, and I got a 4 on AWA, which is just horrible.
Do I have any chance of getting into a top B-school with these scores?
Btw, I used to be really good at Math in high school, but I haven't taken many math classes ever since, so I'm definitely rusty. But I did score around the 80th percentile in both the practice tests i took and I also wasn't feeling my best during the actual exam. So I do believe I could score much higher with a bit of practice. As for AWA, I was honestly expecting to score higher. I'm not a native English speaker, but I've always done a good job with essays.

Hello chubbybunny156 ... welcome to the community. Congratulations on such a stellar score.
Coming to math...... Q47 is not BAD... it's not the greatest one either. It seems that you have all the basic knowledge and I feel that all u need is practice. Below are my 2 cents :
1. Use GMAT Club pdf (free !!
)to refresh concepts tested in the exam.
2. Start practicing 600 level Qs at the links below, and once I reach 90% accuracy(in 2 mins) I would move to 700 level.
**From your post ......it seems....you would be done with those 2 steps in 5-10 days
3. Similarly, at 700 level I would strive for 80-85% accuracy(again in 2 mins) ..... more the merrier !!
4. Finally, definitely use GMAT Club Q-Tests (if you are targetting Q48++)
**Be mindful with your mistakes and the ones that you took more than 3 or 4 mins.

You have a very good chance of getting into a top program
That said, the GMAT is not the only thing admissions committees look at, so you should work on putting a really good application together. And yes, you could take the exam again if you have the time to do so. 740 "cold" is just amazing, and I expect that Q47 to go up very quickly with a little revision.
