Hey everyone,
I took the GMAT twice. Here are my scores
Exam 1: 720 (94%, 44V (97%), 46Q (71%)) AWA - 5.5 (77%), IR - NA
Exam 2: 720 (94%, 39V (88%), 49Q (83%)) AWA - 5.0 (57%), IR - 7 (85%)
So my question is, which score do I use? They are roughly the same. The second is more balanced and has a decent IR score, but the first has a 97th percentile in verbal and a higher AWA. Is it better to show a more balanced score or a more impressive subject score? For background, I have a very strong quant background as I am an analyst for an investment management firm and have taken many math classes all with good grades. I also use to be a journalist, so I'm not too worried about the AWA scores. Any insights would be appreciated!
