I got a 700 (49 Q, 38 V)

I saw one guest's score on this forum - 710 (49 Q and 36 verbal). Really don't understand why should I get 10 points less overall for getting 2 points higher in one of the sections Confused Any clue??

All I can say is that I am not a happy person after G-day. With a little more preparation, I can increase my score to a 740-750 but I do not have the time to take the test again. Guess will have to live with this not so good figure and move on..

PS: This is a great forum and I will be here in future as well (yeah you guessed it right, only on the Math section as I HATE verbal)

Congrats, montz! A 700 is a great score will definitely make you competitive as a business school candidate. Even if you could retake and score 50 points higher, I think that the benefits would be marginal--you're probably better off focusing on developing high-quality apps.

Best of luck!
