It doesn’t seem there’s that much difference in the scores so you can choose the one.

This reminds me of the childhood puzzle where people ask you would you rather go into a room with snakes or a room with tigers. I think most people choose tigers because most people hate snakes but that’s only a preference because the result is the same 😂

You could pick the one with a more balanced result or the one with the higher one score again what kind of splitting hairs here. It’s a bummer both clocked the same. Sorry.

Hi Aim4gmat2024,

As the others have pointed out, there's no clear answer here. It's the total score that really matters, and both (total) scores are the same. That said, I'd go for the second one.

Also, V83 is a very good score. Did you face time pressure during the verbal section (your other thread), and if you did, which strategy did you end up going with?

Hi Aim4gmat2024,

I also don't see a huge difference between the two scores, so I think you will be fine sending either one. That said, do you know the average scores at your desired schools?
