I think they just take your highest numeric grade. I wouldn't worry too much about the writing, that should be evident in your essays. Nice score!

thanks for the compliment, however I only have the 690 and the 6

I am taking it again tomorrow, and just want to jump into the math section, because I remember last time I concentrated pretty hard core on the AWAs which did not leave me as fresh as I would like to be for the actual test.

That is quite the improvement. Congrats on that. Some schools will look at all of your GMAT scores and take the average. Most will simply take your highest score. Looks like you will be in a good position for a top school. Have you considered which programs will be a good fit for you?
