Hi All,

I have got 710 (Q48,V40). I got what i was expecting in English but in quants i was expecting around 50 which will land my GMAT around 740.

I am an Indian IT male(2 years work-ex), toughest pool of India and starting with my own business. I will be applying this year. I need you advice on whether i should retake my exam?

I am aiming for Ivy Leagues and mainly Kellogg for Marketing program.

Regards,
Thanks.

Unless you plan on taking up a career as a GMAT instructor, I think you are fine. The range of acceptable into all IVY league schools is 680-750, with the median obviously around 710-720.

A high score can definitely help with scholarships, but you are likely better spending your time improving your applications before retaking the exam. Maybe consider it if you are going to apply this fall, which means you have some time before applications come out.

"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."
