I took GMAT twice. One time was so humiliating for my self-esteem that it took me some time to get back on track and start preparing for the new try.
However, the second time around proved me that either I am stupid or I do something wrong while preparing for the exam.
I've got to understand my feelings since I have always been top student both at school and University. I won a national scholarship to study in US on a graduate program, when I was 22 years old. I always used to think about myself as a smart ass.
However, GMAT proved me wrong. It is even more humiliating, because friends of mine got results above 620 the first time around.
I need to re-take the test in a month and to be honest I am in low mood for this since I am afraid that my score will not climb up substantially. And this is exactly what I need right now! I have to prove to the admission commission that I am a smart-ass too and is worth of scholarship money they are going to award in a month to a selected group of individuals.
My question is how and where you guys found the guts and strength to come back and get back on track with preparation??? How did you persuade yourselves to keep trying?
Probably, I need an inspiration or something....

I am going thru the same situation right now; scored 500 and then after 3 months of studying got a 560. I feel really disappointed and scared of studying again to see a small increase that would kill my hopes of attending a top 10 school.
I think people scoring in the mid-550 range have many gaps in the basic concepts tested in the GMAT, and should study and try to master every single concept that comes up in the test. Both quant and verbal.
I am not sure one month is enough to substantially improve your score, I would give it a little bit more of time. I am personally taking the test in 3 months, at that point I will take my score and move on to put my best possible application.
Good luck to you.

Dear eokhonko,
Following are samples of golden qoutes written by successful GMAT fighters, those who scored above 700 and understand the test inside out and know exactly what it takes to beat it up:
For a complete list of the qoutes, try this topic inside the GMATclub forum:

"Don't waste your time trying to get too many resources and over complicating things. Spend your time on the materials guaranteed to help you on the GMAT."

your training involves two goals: 1) learning WHAT to study, and 2) studying that.

I think it's more clear to you now what the problem is !
