720 but bombed on IR

**PLEASE IGNORE THE POLL - I ACCIDENTALLY PUT TWO NO's** - please post your opinion instead

Hi all,

I need some advice....I have just retaken the GMAT and gotten a 720 total score (47Q, 42V), up from 640.

At the start of the test, in the middle of the IR section, the monitor in the centre disconnected and I lost time while I reconnected it.Because of this lost time, I was not able to finish the IR section and got a score of 4 (37th percentile). Previously I had gotten in the 90th percentile for IR.

Can you tell me how serious a problem this is? Are IR scores looked at in reality?

I am very happy to have obtained a 720 and would prefer not to retake for fear of doing worse....

HELP!! Thanks....

Hi charlesjflanagan,

As an aside, I'm not sure if you meant this as a joke or not, but since both of your poll answers are "NO", it sounds like you're not really interested in retaking the GMAT.

With a 720/Q47, you have a fantastic score that puts you in position to apply to any Business School. Unless a representative from a school that you're interested in tells you to retest, you should consider yourself done with the GMAT.

What Business Schools are you considering? And when are you planning to apply?

Thank you for the reply and pointing out the issue with the poll.

I appreciate your comments. I am considering top 7 schools and just dont want any red flags. Applying at the moment.

Really appreciate your comment. All others welcome.
