If I'm unhappy with my score, can I take the test again?
The decision about whether or not to retake the test is unique to the individual and takes into consideration factors like cost, timing, and satisfaction with the score you’ve received. If you don’t think your score is representative of your strengths and abilities, you may want to consider taking the test again. Prior to sitting for the test again, figure out how much time you have until the application deadline. If you are confident that you will be able to review growth areas and improve, then go ahead and retake the test. If you choose to submit multiple scores to Chicago Booth, we will use the highest score as part of the review process.
Regardless of your results, remember that your test score is just one element taken into consideration throughout Chicago Booth’s holistic review process. Be sure to place an equal emphasis on the rest of your application and present the strongest version of yourself across your essay responses, expression of long and short term goals, by selecting recommenders who will best speak to your strengths, and adequately representing your employment history and extracurricular involvement. Working to thoughtfully develop these aspects of your application can also have a significant impact on the overall strength of your profile.
