I took the GMAT this evening and hence have not received my AWA score yet. However, I am a bit concerned about my IR score (4). I made 710 otherwise (Q48, V39). I plan to apply this Fall and London Business School is my top choice. Other programs I plan to apply to include HBS, Stanford and Kellogg. I eventually would like to get into management consulting; some blog posts had mentioned that the top consulting firms look very carefully at IR scores. Is this true? Should I retake and apply in Round 2 or keep my current score and apply in Round 1?

Hmmm, my thought is that if you don't think you would get higher on the main score, you can just apply with the score you have, and that retaking JUST for an IN score rarely is worth it.

Best,
Jon

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
