Hey,
I've recently taken Gmat on 21st of feb,2013 and got a paltry 680.Gave a couple of MGMAT and Gmatprep tests prior to the exam.Found that my score was varying very much on the tests,from 650-740 in in 7 tests I have taken.It was not a graph that was an increasing one but a fluctuating one.Before taking the test I checked myself on Quantz and sentence correction,which were worrying me.I got 50 in Quantz and hardly got 1 or 2 SC questions wrong on both the GMATprep tests.While taking the actual GMAT I lost 2.30 mins on quantz because the instructor didnt tell me my break time was over and while finishing the Verbal paper i panicked a lot in the end and Most prolly ended up answering 6-8 continuously wrong in the end which I am very sure of.When i was done with the test I found that I got 48Q,35V.i was aiming for a score of 700+.By how many points can I improve my score if I retake the test in a month with some more preparation.Kindly,Suggest me on retaking the GMAT.

You shouldn't be disappointed! 680 is a really strong score, certainly not low enough to keep you out of any school!
If you are decided that you'll retake the test, it looks like a moderate improvement in your verbal score could produce a large improvement in your total score. Also, it sounds like you were a bit shaken throughout your first GMAT. I think an improvement of 30-40 points is possible, but you alone must decide if it's really worth the time, money, and anxiety to try again. Good luck!

Thank you Non-Yankee.That was really helpful.I am looking to apply for masters in management course as well planning to apply for MMS at Duke Fuqua.Although I found that the average score for applicants there was 660,Read somewhere that u need to have a really good score above 700 to get an admit.My profile is average as in I have done my graduation in Metallurgy and material sciences(B.Tech) from National Institute of technology-India with a CGPA 7.6/10 in 2011.I have done an internship for 2 months in a Steel Industry during college,Worked as a Consultant at a Financial technology firm in Mumbai for 13 months after graduation and Im currently working at a NPO for children at risk as an Intern for career awareness. I have switched through many industries and its worrying me that It will be considered negatively,precisely the reason why I want to get a high score so as to get calls from universities.Can u advise me whether I have to apply with this score or re-take it?Moreover I am hopeful that since i know the mistakes i have done I might be able to improve my score by30-40 points with little effort.
