Hi there,

I have two gmat scores.

1st exam: 690 - I took this when I wasn't familiar with GMAT
V40 (90%)
Q45 (54%)
AWA 6.0
IR 4 (33%)

2nd exam: 670 - I took this a month after the first exam
V34(71%)
Q49(74%)
AWA 6.0
IR 8 (91%)

Should I cancel the second score?

I know it's lower than the first since i screwed verbal, but every other section is better than the first exam.
Part of me thinks that by submitting both scores i can show adcoms that my quant got better,
but at the same time i'm worried if they think I just got lucky with some sections on the test days and none of the good scores is my true ability.

I know my score/gpa is below average but I believe i have an interesting story and career to tell, so i'm still targeting M7.
so should i cancel or not? any ideas or suggestions?

I'm applying round 2, but I'm gonna take GMAT one more time just in case I apply to some schools round 3 or reapply next year.

Thanks in advance! :)

Hi dory12,
I would not cancel your second score. I think it's valuable to show that high quant / IR combination. If you only submitted your first score, I worry they would have concerns about those two sections.
Hope that helps, and good luck with your next attempt!
