Hello Everyone,
I need some advice.I like many people in this forum have a similar story.
I have dreams of applying to and getting accepted at top 20 school.
My first attempt at GMAT was in October 2016.
I mostly studied OG materials,E-GMAT for verbal and gave Manhattan and GMAT Prep mocks.
My MGMAT scores were consistent around 670-680 and GMAT prep was 710 and 720.
I was hopeful of a 700+ score,but missed it ended up getting a disappointing 680.(Q 49 V33)
It felt bad,but i was determined.After giving it some thought,I decided to give the exam again and to give it all I got.
After taking a break for sometime,I decided to study one month religiously all by myself.
I even decided to take completely off from work and had to really bargain with my boss.
I studied well and this time I was using Kaplan and Veritas mocks.I used to consistently get a 710-720 on the mocks,so I felt confident.
I did give the GMAT Prep mocks and got a 770 and a 750 but those were inflated as I had seen some of those questions before.
I also gave GMAT club's quant mocks and was consistently getting a 50-51 in the mocks.
I had my second GMAT on 10th Jan and maybe i had build it up too much but I ended up choking big time on Quant and got a 690(Q 48 and V37).
I don't know what to do next now and I feel that my dream is slipping away.
I had put in lot of effort this time and thus am feeling really disappointed.
Should I have one more attempt?I know i can pull off a 720+ score but the previous two attempts have really dented my confidence.
Thus I am seeking advice on what I should go next?
I have close to 2.5 years of experience now and I plan to apply to colleges for 2018.

First of all, 690 is a decent score and not very different from 720. It is not a red flag for any school. That said, since you have time and a higher target, you can give it another shot.
Here is the thing about a high score - the more desperately you want it, the more it will slip out of your hands. Know that GMAT is not just about aptitude, it is about your attitude too. The test maker plays mind games with you so choking won't help at all. You know that you already have a 690. You know that you are capable of 730. That is all you need to keep in mind while taking the test.

Hello Karishma,
Thank you for your encouraging words.
The reason I gave GMAT again so soon was because I wanted to apply to ISB in R2 this year.
Anyways,now that I have time,If i do give my GMAT again it will be 3-4 months from now.
I want to know what thing can I do differently in my prep this time so that I don't miss out on my desired score again.
Also,I just wanted a quick heads up as what sort of colleges i can target this year with my current score,even for like a masters in management course.
Regards,
Nishant
