Hi,
I took GMAT firstly back in november and I scored 540 (I had a bad day) and I started studying from scratch again 3 months ago. I took a course (I am non native, Spain), I did like 10 tests + 2 GMAT prep, scoring 680-670 which I would have really been OK with, I also took 2 weeks holiday from work to study, but I scored 640 (Q45 V33 percentile 75). I found the questions in RC worst than any others I did before, particularly because I didn't like any of the answers, they were strange. I read in english almost all the time and I dont have any problem with complicated texts. On the contrary, I was a bit afraid of CR and it was quite ok ...
Right now I am not really sure what to do, because I am quite exhausted from GMAT and I am not sure that if I try again I will score 50 points more rather than having a bad day and scoring less ... My job is quite demanding and I will certainly not have as much time to prepare as I had this time as I am always travelling... so I have many doubts
Could any one give me some advice on what to do? Should I start writing essays with this score and re-try GMAT in 5 or 6 weeks? I don't know ...
Thanks

I think it depends on your target schools. A 640 is not a bad score if you have a strong profile and outstanding essays. However, if you want to get into a top school, your have a better chance with a strong GMAT score (680-720). Having said that, I have seen people getting accepted in Wharton with a 610 but it is rare.
Conclusion, If you aspire to a top school, you gotta give it a try once again. Good luck
