Scored 680 .. should i retake the test?

[premk]

Hi,

I scored 680 (QA 50, VA 31, IR 8, AWA 5.5). This was my second attempt. In 1st attempt I had scored 570.

Probably, nervousness and mental fatigue were the prime reasons for my low score in Verbal. Should I retake it?

I have applied to ISB with my current score. Any chances of me getting a call? I did my grad from IIT BHU and have a work-ex of >3 years in a top steel industry.

Hi there,

I don't know enough about you (all factors are considered-- details of your work experience; leadership; goals; recommendations; essays etc in the admissions decision, not just GMAT) to best assess your chances at ISB; your score is below their average but still within the realm of possible consideration if they love everything else about you. If you feel you could do better though, there's not a lot to lose by giving it another shot? Good luck!
