Hi
I just gave my GMAT and scored a 770 (Q50/V44), AWA-5.5 and IR 4.
I am happy with my overall score IR score is a concern. I would like to get an opinion about whether I should repeat the GMAT.
I understand that at 770 it may seem a no-brainer. Though, here are the details. Please help me decide.
Also, I went through a few similar topics on gmatclub, I think my situation is somewhat different(see pros/cons below) - so please evaluate the situation based on these and help me decide
Why I think I should repeat:
1. I am going to apply to only the most selective schools (top 15 - but want to get into top 5)
2. I think if I repeat , the worst I'll score would still be 750 or above.
4. If things go bad - now I have the option of cancelling scores - and B-Schools won't see it
5. I took GMAT less than 10 days back, so I can repeat in 6 days with say 10-15 hours of revision/practice. So this shouldn't take much time (which I could use for other sections of my application)
6. I have heard that some top companies while hiring may consider your IR score. Though I am not sure at this stage whether I would be targeting these companies
7. I a have low GPA (2.95) with bad math grades (not too bad) - was just careless
Why I think it may be a waste of time:
1. This was my third attempt. My previous 2 scores are as follows
Attempt 1 - 700 - Q51, V33, IR - 7, AWA - 4
Attempt 2 - 720 - Q50, V36, IR -7, AWA -4.5
(Although irrelevant at this point - I retook even after 720 because the split was really bad and I had given the exam with 1 hour of sleep)
Getting back - So I have demonstrated twice before that I have scored well on IR, and I think that report will go to the B-schools. So they may see recent score of 4 as just unfortunate.
Although as I understand it, B-Schools do not consider different scores from different reports as in Quant/verbal from 1 report and IR from another.
2. I could easily address this in my Essay/Recos
If its totally unnecessary (doesn't impact even 2-3%), I would rather not take the exam again. However considering the amount of time I have given to GMAT preparation, if it would make even a little bit of difference - I will repeat.

Hi subchatt,
First off, a 770/Q50 is an outstanding score (it's about the 99th percentile overall), so you should apply to any Schools that interest you. There is NO reason to retest. Since you're ultimately asking Admissions questions, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:

770 is just a brilliant score. Can you please share some tips...how you prepared and anything that you would recommend while taking the actual exam.
