I got 700 (q51 v32) on my first GMAT; decided to retake as everyone I spoke with suggested that a 80/80 split will be ideal, then I got 640 (q51 v25), lowest verbal I have ever gotten ever. It's really disappointing, but what's done is done.
I know it's best to re-take as my second attempt is definitely going to raise questions about my verbal ability unless I can counter that on my third attempt. However, I am just super exhausted with GMAT and am really sick of it.
If I do retake, I will probably take it in 30 days. Aug/September will be cutting it too close. However, if I don't retake, would it be an automatic ding for schools that I will be applying to?
p.s. The schools I sent reports on my first exam (my second choices) are different than reports I sent to on my second exam (top choices). So, the big question is, am I doomed for my second choices as they will be able to see how bad my scores dropped.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!![]()
