Hi all,
I'm running into what may or may not be a problem. I have taken two practice GMAT exams (the first two MGMAT CAT exams). I scored 720 (96%) on both (yay!)
However, there is a large discrepancy in the Quant/Verbal scores. This is the breakdown:
Test 1:
Q44 (73%)
V45 (99%)
Test 2:
Q44 (73%)
V44 (97%)
Clearly, I need to continue working on my math skills. But let's say hypothetically I'm not able to improve my math score. Is this going to cause a problem when the admissions boards review my scores? Or do they care more about the overall score?
Thanks very much.

your math score will be a bit of a problem if you're going for the top-notched quant-heavy schools, schools such as columbia, wharton, booth to name a few. However, if you have some other ways to compensate for the math score, such as transcript (if you took a whole bunch of quant-heavy classes in college and got all A's), extracurriculars, work experience (as an ibanker or financial analyst, etc), you may be able to get away. Without knowing too much about you, this is what I can think of. The application itself is a hollistic one, and a Q44 can be compensated. I'd say anything below a 70 percentile in math is where you should really consider retaking.
So what it all comes down to is basically where you're thinking of applying/going, what you do for work, what your college (or even grad school) transcript looks like, what you want to do post-MBA.
