Hi everyone,
I have just sat for my GMAT and obtained a score of 690 (Q48 and V37 IR 7). I am from Singapore and graduated from Nationsal University of Singapore. I know that 690 is not a very good score and it may not be enough to get me into the top 20 schools. I have already taken the GMAT five times and I am stuck with the score of 690 for a long time. Please advise me if I should take another attempt for the exam? Thanks a lot!

Q48 V37 is a good score. I feel if you work a bit hard in quant you will be able to get Q50. I am not the right person to answer but I would say, everything depends on what you feel.
If you are willing to get in into the top 20 schools then you will have to make it happen. You are already doing great and just need a bit of polishing in your weak areas.
Otherwise, you can also search for other schools which will get you in for 690.
The choice is yours. Don't lose hopes.
All the best!!!

It's hard to say without knowing more about you -- your work experience & the quantitative results you've driven there, your leadership & extracurriculars, your LORs, your undergrad GPA & your post-MBA goals will all be important factors in the strength of your candidacy as well & may be enough to outweigh the GMAT. At this point if you've taken it 5 times it sounds like you've done the best you can & your time & energy may be best spent at this point just making sure the rest of your application is as strong as possible. Top 10 is going to be quite tough with that score but again it all depends. You'll have a stronger shot at schools in the 11-20 range but will still need to be sure all those other components of your app are rock solid. At the end of the day b-schools do use the GMAT to compare candidates & gauge whether or not you are up for the rigors of your school, but we've seen plenty of people get in with below average GMATs. These applications are an art form after all!
