When a school takes "your highest overall GMAT score&qu

When a school says they'll take your overall highest score, I'm assuming it would be your highest score in one test session. Do schools ever combine your highest verbal and highest Quant. from like two different tests, to give you an overall highest score? It wouldn't make sense for this to happen because of the scoring matrix, but I remember some schools would take your highest score in each section of the SAT and combine them for an overall high score.

I took the GMAT on Saturday and got a terrible 540. However, I got a 6.0 on the AWA. I also scored in the 66 percentile for Verbal, which I heard is weighted more heavily. I know I just did terrible in the Quant. (30%) which was most likely a fluke of sorts. I plan on taking it again, but in the chance that I don't get a 6.0 on the AWA or do worse on Verbal, will schools ever look at my past test scores for any indication of my success?

Dear dubc1982,

I believe this question has been answered in previous posts, so you might look back for further insights.

Schools use your highest total GMAT score in evaluation. There is no picking and choosing from different test dates. Thus if you retake the exam scoring a 650, then the verbal and quant scores from this test date are used in your application evaluation.

Remember--the GMAT is not the most important application component nor is it the only indicator of your success. Take your time to prepare and then retake the exam.

Good luck,
Lisa

Thank you. I plan to take it again in September. I really think this score was a fluke and next time I take it I'll get a score, when combined with everything else I have to offer should be sufficient to get me in.
