Hi alokspa,
Earlier this year, you posted a number of times in various Admissions Consulting Forums and School-specific Forums. Did you end up applying to School during this last application cycle (and if so, then what were your results?)? I ask because if any Schools provided application feedback to you, then you might actually need to work on areas OTHER than your GMAT Score - and you already have a really strong GMAT Score (a 690/Q50 is just a bit shy of the 90th percentile overall). As such, a retest might not be necessary.
If you are intent on retesting, then it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how your prior studies and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long did you study prior to your January attempt?
2) What study materials have you used?
Goals:
3) What is your goal score?
4) When are you planning to retake the GMAT?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
6) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hello Rich
Thanks for reply
I started preparation in Nov end. I studied for close to 2 months. (Last year I was too late I guess)
I applied for some schools in last round. My Result for last year
New York University: Stern - Rejected without interview
Olin (St. Louis) - Interviewed - Waiting for final result
University of Rochester: Simon - Waiting for result
Boston College: Carroll - Wait listed
University of Oxford: Saïd - Rejected without interview
Indian School of Business - Rejected without interview
NUS - Rejected without interview
I have not received feedback yet from any schools. I was advised by Adcom to wait till June/July for feedback.
I dont have a great academic background. (below average)
Profile Indian IT male
Hence I believe I need a higher GMAT score.
Studies:
1) How long did you study prior to your January attempt? - 2months
2) What study materials have you used? -
RC - GMATPREP (completed appx 50%), 99 RC (completed appx 50%)
CR- CR Bible, GMATPREP (completed appx 50%)
SC - Ron Videos (100%), GMATPREP (80%)
Quant - GMATCLUB (1000+ questions), OG (complet), Math revolution (complete)
I believe my mistake was that I didn't complete the OG for Verbal. Needs correction
Goals:
3) What is your goal score? 750+
4) When are you planning to retake the GMAT? Sep 2017 (now in Client location (UK) so maximum 4 hrs I can devote per day)
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School? Oct/Nov 2017
6) What Schools are you planning to apply to? Top 10-40
Kindly let me know if you need any more information
Regards
Alok
