Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Although i used to score higher in practice test,i messed up during my real GMAT(650 Q-41, V-38). During practice test i used to be better at Quant and never got less than 47. But somehow it didn't work out during the real GMAT. Paper was real easy yet i couldn't get there. I had 10 mins spare after my quant ended. Would you suggest me retaking the GMAT or strengthening up my profile???

Yes, you should definitely take the GMAT again. The Indian average GMAT to many of the schools listed below is almost a whole 100 points higher!.

Best of luck,
