Hello,

I Just got back from taking the GMAT a second time today. The first time I took it, I scored a 46 Quant and 34 on Verbal. Today, I scored a 39 Quant and 41 on Verbal so you can see that I completely flip flopped.

Will schools look at my highest scores of 46 Quant and 41 Verbal even though these scores came from two separate exams? It comes out to about a combined 710 or 720. Please let me know how schools view a situation like this. Thanks so much!!

Dear NDLadyzman,

Schools do not mix scores from different tests; they only use the GMAT with the highest total score in the evaluation of your candidacy.
