I had taken GMAT last week and plan to apply in Round 2.
My averages on GMAT club mocks were around 635 and in official mocks 1 and 2 I got 665 and 605. On the actual focus test I got 595. My average scores in verbal used to be between 83 and 86. However it was very bad on the actual exam which hurted my score a lot.
During the verbal section I had an issue with the markers which stopped working abruptly making it difficult to keep track on the choices I was rejecting. After like 10-12 min I gave up and decided to do the section without the using the scratch sheet given it was wasting my time.. I believe my time management got completely thrown off due to this part. I had also given GMAT focus for the first time but had scored 640 in the GMAT classic where I had Q50(86%) and V25(35%). I did read about the techniques and question patterns from the powerscore RC bible and CR techniques. In the exam I did feel overpowered by the complex wording structure of the CR and RC.
I wanted to get your opinion in case I should reattempt in hopes of improving my score since I am targeting M7. I am hoping that I get an appointment before the deadlines. I wanted to ask in case you can guide me on how I can focus on my weaknesses based on my score report. Thank you!
Attached is my score report on Quant and Verbal.

Hi satvikd22,
You're targeting some very competitive schools, so it may be a good idea to retake, especially if you think you can get a higher score. As for your ESR, it's hard to take anything away from the verbal section. You faced some issues that could have affected your performance, so it's not easy to say whether your ESR is representative or not. That said, although 595 is very close to 605, you also have a 665. If I were you, I'd continue prepping, but I'd take more official practice tests (retake some of them if necessary).
All the best.

Hi satvikd22,
Considering that you were scoring higher than 595 on your practice exams, the issues you had with the marker during the verbal, and the fact that you are looking to apply to M7 schools, I think you need to retake your GMAT. Of course if you move forward with a retake and need some advice, feel free to reach out.
