I hear ya. I scored a 720 last year and am shooting for 760+. My biggest shortcoming was verbal (37), especially sentence correction. I highly recommend MGMAT's SC. They've definitely helped a huge amount. I'm now consistenly getting 90%+ on the sentence correction questions.

Honestly, with a 710, there is no reason to retake. Being a perfectionist or obsessive about this test can actually hurt you in the admissions process. Remember, people with 750+ scores do get dinged, all the time. Make sure your application essays sing. Those are far more important.

I honestly think a 710 is perfectly fine. It is a very solid score as long as you have the academics and work experience to back you up as well. I'd focus on the essay now.
