I took the GMAT once and got a score of 660. I got advice from many people (MBA students, MBA applicants) that in order to get into a good B-School, one must break 700. So, 6 months later, I retook it. I gave myself 3 full weeks to study for this, yet I got an even lower score which I am almost embarrased to say, a #$%# 580! It's probably never happened to anyone - this drastic, disastrous downfall. There were many factors - immense stress, lack of sleep, blah blah.
So now the question is should I retake it for the 3rd time? 3rd time's a charm?!
If yes, how should my strategy be? I used Manhattan both times, but I never took any course - it was all self studying. Considering I have had no luck doing this on my own (unless someone has a different strategy to offer), does anyone recommend KAPLAN/Manhattan courses, private tutoring? I hear at the end of the day it is mastering the time pressure, hence knowing the tricks in Quant is important and quick reading strategies in Verbal. These are often covered in these courses etc.
What are your thoughts! Pleasse help!!!!!

Can you shed some light on your QUANT/VERBAL splits?

Typically I have done better in Quant:
In the 2nd exam it was Q41/V28
In the first exam, I think it was Q49/V31 (something like that)
Practices it has varied:
Q47/V30
Q45/V34
Q45/V30
Verb has never gone above 34.
I don't know what happened in my second exam, and I don't know what is wrong with my studying strategy?
