I took my 2nd Official GMAT today. Improved my score from 660 (in attempt 1) to 700.
Score Breakup:
Q50, V34, IR3
Although I am happy about scoring 700, I am really concerned about my IR score. I consistently scored above 5 in IR during mock CATs. but in the actual GMAT exam, the first question stumped me. I wasted too much time and guessed most answers due to lack of time. If not for lack of time, i would have scored better. My IR score in attempt 1 was 5.
Considering that I will be applying for Fall 2017 intake, I would like to know how IR is viewed by adcoms and recruiters?
Also, is it worth to retake the exam again?
PS: I am Indian, Female, and a research engineer.

Hi ss20tali,
First off, a 700/Q50 is an outstanding score (it's right around the 90th percentile overall), so you should apply to any Business Schools that interest you. Since many Schools have publicly stated that they do not use an Applicant's IR score as part of the application review process, you likely have nothing to worry about there. If you're truly concerned though, you should contact each School's Admissions Office directly and ask. All things considered, a retest is probably not necessary. You're ultimately asking Admissions questions though, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:

I would not worry too much about it. Most programs have publically stated that they are still figuring out how to evaluate IR and are not really using it in the assessment process. So don't worry about it for now
