I am an engineering graduate in computer sciences and have a work experience of 5+ years. I have worked for 2.5+ a software company L&T Infotech in india and then shifted my career to Corporate training to various sectors for 1+ years. After that I started my own company which looks into import of goods from india and covering the markets in europe.

I have recently scored 700 in my exam and targeting LBS as the first preference.
I would request you to please advise me on that whether i should retake the test or apply on this score?

also i screwed my IR big time.. I really dont know what to do.. pls help

You could consider taking the exam again if you think you are able to score in the mid 700s. However, if that is a bit of a stretch, just focus on your applications. IR should be okay if you are applying this year.

700 is pretty good. I think you might be right on the edge for LBS. If you take it again do you think you can raise your score twenty or more points? If not, it might not be worth it and your time might be better spent fine tuning the rest of your application. Making sure your essays and resumes are top notch will give you a good return on your time invested. Good luck to you!
