DO I NEED TO RETAKE

by Jinglander » Wed Sep 29, 2010 1:42 pm
Ok I don't want to sound ungrateful... I did just get a 730. The problem is my scores where very far off. I got a 98% in V but only a 70% in math. I am happy with my overall score, but here schools may look more at the verbal score. I also am worried because I emphasize my quantitative skills in my app. THOUGHTS?

Great Score - you would be crazy to sit through another 4 hour test.

If I were you, I would have taken long vacation, would have boozed full time and would have slept for 24 hrs, rather than thinking taking GMAT again.

If you are aiming for 800 then I would say that you should take again. Sorry for being sarcastic, but buddy, I don't know why you are thinking of taking exam again. You got awesome score, and now don't think about GMAT. Just focus on your application. Just a thought :)
