Need help on reporting GMAT scores!

by mossovet814 » Wed Dec 30, 2009 3:49 am
Maybe somebody can advice what to do in this situation... I have passed the GMAT twice and the outcome was the same - 700. BUT! The first time I scored 78 for math and over 80 for verbal. The second time I scored 93 for math, but... only about 70 for verbal (I don't know what has happened to me - I was a bit ill and probably lost concentration by the end of the exam). So... the overall score is the same, but the differences between the sections are great. So what score would you recommend me to report? I am happy about my math, but the verbal of only 70 makes me upset... I am a foreigner, not from the US and English is not my native language. So, what would you recommend in this situation?

Hi,

Many schools are looking for a balance in GMAT scores meaning nearly equal scores on verbal and quant. I would suggest you report your first score as it is a bit more balanced than your second. Keep in mind that writing stellar essays will help demonstrate your communication skills and quell any concerns about your language ability.

Best,

Stacey
