Hi pranay04k,
First off, a 640 is a good score (it's right around the 80th percentile), so that score might be enough to get you into Business School. If you do plan to retest, it's usually best to retest sooner rather than later, since all of this GMAT knowledge is fresh in your mind.
I'd like to know a bit more about how you have been studying:
1) How long did you study?
2) What materials did you use to study?
3) What is your goal score?
4) When you took your practice CATs, did you take the ENTIRE CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)?
Business Schools do not care how many times you take the GMAT, so that should not be a concern. The overall application for Business School involves many "pieces" besides the GMAT - work experience, essays, letters of recommendation, etc. are all a part of the process. If you have not yet done so, you should download a copy of the application from each of the Schools that you're planning to apply to so that you can learn about everything that you need to put together when you apply.

Thanks Rich for an early reply.
I studied for 8 months and used
OG,
MGMAT SC , and questions extracted from GMAT Prep tests.
My goal score is 720. I never took entire CAT. I only took Quant and Verbal Sections.
