I have recently taken the GMAT Online for the first time and got a 720 (47Q 42V 5 IR 5 AWA). I'm willing to retake, because I believe I can do better.
However, it's unclear to me if a setback in a new test will impact my overall score. If, for example, I take it again and get a 690, can I send only the 720 score to the schools? From what I've searched in forums it seems that I can do it, but I haven't found this answer in official sources and it just seems to good to be true for me. If I am willing to spend the money and not rushing to submit applications this year, can I take the online exam 5 times and just apply next year with my greatest score without the other 4 having any impact on the application at all?
Given that I'm willing to spend the money and that timing is not an issue, is this a good strategy?

720 is good. If the rest of the profile (Edu, GPA, Work ex, International experience, Non-Profits etc) can throw up interesting diversity boosting spikes, then 720 is enough.
You could brief your profile and we can take a call on whether 750+ would be needed.

Hi congrats on 720.
I would recommend checking the what are my chances tool WAMC.
You can get a better sense with getting a higher score could get you or not.
There’s no downside to retaking. There’s very little consideration given to multiple retakes. Even in the Olympics, you get multiple attempts at weightlifting or jumping or running because everyone knows that performance can vary. (Or at least I think that’s how it works 😇😂). I mean what do you think will happen, the Adcom will see that you got a 720 and you got a 690 and what can they really do with information?
You can also cancel your scores and not report them. The online tests is not reported unless you choose to share it. You don’t even need to cancel the score because by default it’s not reported on the score report.
Anyway, figure out if you need a higher score and then if you think you can do it, I would probably do it in the next four weeks and not spend too much time on the GMAT. Also, if you’re looking to apply in round one, I would not retake it this point since you should be focusing on your applications
