Hey all! So I just took the GMAT for the first time this morning and got a 640 (39 on both verbal and quantitative). Although I scored ~700 on 3 practice tests, I'm okay with the 640. However, I totally bombed the IR section (2 -- 12%) which is kind of weird because I got 8's on all my practices. I am only applying to state schools - alabama, new york, arizona, so I am wondering if y'all think I need to retake it based on my super low IR score? Also, I have a 3.8 GPA and the first deadline is on January 5th, so if i retake I would have to wait until the second deadline.

Most of the Schools have publicly stated that they do not consider the IR score. So, if you are satisfied with the overall score, go ahead and apply in the first deadline. There is not need to take the GMAT again.

I wonder if we had similar issues. I just took the gmat this morning and only got a 5 on IR. I had 2 or 3 really strange questions I couldn't wrap my head around. I was scoring 8's on mocks.
Since you know which Schools you plan to apply to, you should be able to research them all in more detail to see how your Official GMAT Score compares. Many Business Schools have publicly stated that they don't use the IR score as part of the application process, you have nothing to worry about there. As long as your AWA is a 4.0 or higher, you don't have a problem there either.
First of all thanks y'all, that is reassuring! I guess I'm just worried that even though they say that IR doesn't really matter, they still might see how poorly I did and subconsciously hold it against me? Is that realistic to think or am I just being paranoid?

IR might come into consideration if you are competing against an applicant who has the same profile, same academics, same achievements etc. I do not think so that will be the case. So you should go ahead and apply!
