Q48/V38 - Which is easier to improve on retake?

Expert replies
by Sertorius Quintus » Mon Mar 03, 2014 5:41 pm
I took the GMAT recently and scored Q48(78%)/V38(84%)/700(90%).

My target score is 720+, preferably 730 or 740 and I believe this will be achievable with targeted additional study. I have researched the GMAT's percentile distributions as well as the scaled score numbers for Quant and Verbal but would like the opinion of BTG members as to which section will, all things equal, be easier to ameliorate for the next GMAT. Specifically, although I scored 78% percentile in Quant (which would indicate much room to improve), the score of 48 is very close to the top scaled score of 51. Vice versa for Verbal. Which section of the GMAT, Quant or Verbal, has more room for improvement?

Many thanks for posts and comments in advance.

Hi Sertorius,

Based on your score report, you have a much greater "opportunity" for points in the Verbal section. That having been said, you probably shouldn't retake the GMAT. You're already at the 90th percentile, so there's not much to be gained. Unless you're after a specific scholarship that requires a number that you didn't deliver or perhaps an Admissions Officer from a school that you're interested in TOLD you to retest, there's nothing to be gained from retaking the GMAT. You'd be better served spending your time and energy working on strengthening the other parts of your application. You have earned a great GMAT score, so you should consider this part of the process finished.
