Thank you God, and i mean that in the most sincere way to God.

Took the gmat today, it's been a long long journey (2-3 years) and it's finally over. in the past month, i can't say i've really done much prep, other than go over the fundamentals of CR (using the superprep book and the powerscore book) and prayed to God i'd do better. in my previous attempt, i felt like it was somewhat of an anomaly because of my gmatprep practices which were around 700.
IN THE END, i felt like my performance in the gmat was not about the endless amounts of practice that i did or my preparation, even though i did do the necessary amount. i believe that my scoring actually came down to performance / confidence / timing during the actual test. don't underestimate nerves and also do not underestimate the VARIANCE in actual test day questions and how they may stump you. FOR EXAMPLE, i felt like i may have gotten a perfect verbal reading comprehension passage list today. no science, all business, only 1 long passage but overall, very easy to read and "lightweight" as opposed to the super hard.
Question for y'all. my 47math is a 78th percentile, but my previous attempt resulted in a 48 (83 percentile), will business schools look down on the 47? and can i "show" them i'm capable of a 48?
