hello everyone,
i scored 640(Q48 V30) in GMAT on 5th december,14.
I planned to retake GMAT on 21st jan,15. I started preparing for the exam 20th December due to some reason.
I had taken a GMAT prep mock test (720 Q48 v40) before i took gmat.i consistently scored 700 in five tests. I took only GMAT prep tests and got a few repeated questions.
I wanted to apply for ISB YLP. I will not be able to apply for YLP if i postpone GMAT.
But,I am now considering to postpone the GMAT for almost 8-9 months because :
1) I fear that if i didn't scored well in second test ,taking gmat multiple times will not be a good point to show in application in future.
2) The reason for choosing YLP is that I had a startup but it failed for some reason. I thought it would be a nice option to again initiate under the 2 year guidance that we get in deferred admission in YLP.
3) Early Entry Option in ISB and few other colleges allows me to accomplish same goal.
4) Our college placement will start in 7 months and i need to put a lot of effort to secure a good placement. someone told me that type of job experience also plays major role in applications.
Please give suggestions on my decision . If i give the exam after almost 9 months will i be able to remember and apply the concepts as i do now?
I am worried about verbal section.
Thanks everyone

Hey dude,
So I think I can help you out here.
1) I fear that if i didn't scored well in second test ,taking gmat multiple times will not be a good point to show in application in future.
Ultimately this is not true. It's much more important that you get a higher grade than worry about taking the test one time to many. Of course you don't want to take it toooo many times, but there's lots of folks out there who have taken the GMAT 3+ times.
2) The reason for choosing YLP is that I had a startup but it failed for some reason. I thought it would be a nice option to again initiate under the 2 year guidance that we get in deferred admission in YLP.
With your GMAT it'll be tough. But since it's your only opportunity, why not try?
As for delaying and how much, it's a question of timing. I can't evaluate for you how much time you should put into GMAT as opposed to job search. It's something you will need to figure out for yourself. But a break of a few months shouldn't cause you to forget everything either.
Best,
JF
