Took GMAT score recently and got 730 (Q 49 / V 41, 79%ile / 94%ile) IR was 8
Was initially planning on retaking it soon in order to bolster my quant score, but have been so busy recently and now my practice scores are a bit lower. I definitely have the time and energy to put in the work to retake, but I am unsure if it is worth the investment, whereas I could be focusing on my studies. Practice tests were around 740, but higher quant and lower verbal (did my best ever on verbal in the actual exam, but my worst ever in quant in terms of %ile)
Other things to consider: 3.54 GPA overall at a top public university, double majoring. In my quantitative major (Econ), I did not perform that well (3.4-ish GPA for Econ classes), got an A in honors calc, but a B- (right at the average) in Interest rate mathematics. Don't want to delve too deeply into work experience, but I do have some prestigious names on my CV in fairly quantitative work. Shooting to go to a top B school (though likely wont get into H/S), though wouldn't be applying for 2-4 years.
Would appreciate some help in interpreting how I did on the exam and whether or not it is worth the investment of my time to retake. Any other thoughts/opinions are appreciated. Let me know if there is any information I left out that would be useful in asessment.
Thanks

Hi DRTx,
First off, a 730/Q49 is an outstanding score (it's above the 90th percentile overall), so you should apply to any Business Schools that interest you. As such, a retest isn't 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:

You probably do not need to retake the GMAT; however if you are seriously considering retaking the test, I have a few questions for you.
1) What was the IR score on your GMAT?
2) When do you plan to apply to business school?
3) To which schools will you apply?
4) What was the exact score breakdowns of your practice exams? Were those practice exams from MBA.com?
5) What did you do to prep for your GMAT? For how long did you prep for your GMAT?
6) Are you currently in school or are you working full time? When you say “focus on your studies,” what are you referring to?
Please let me know and I would be happy to provide some more tailored advice. Thanks!
