Chaps,
I just finished my second try to get a good GMAT score (unfortunately without any success). Below you can find my scores and a bit of my professional and educational background. I am still not sure how I should continue.
Option A: Focus on GMAT again and retake it in 1-2 months (target score 680-700) - I doubt that I can boost my quant score that much because of the plateau I have reached.
Option B: Focus now on TOEFL and continue with the application process (target schools: LBS, INSEAD, Booth, Wharton, Cambridge, Oxford)
I am 32 years old, hence I should not waste any more time. Because of the financial perspective I am still aiming for a MBA instead of an EMBA.
What do you think? Do you see any opportunities to be successful when applying at one of the above mentioned schools?
GMATPrep scores over the last three months:
GMATPep 1: 510 (Q42, V19) - It was just I the first try without any preparation after my first real GMAT exam
GMATPep 2: 650 (Q47, V34)
GMATPep 3: 660 (Q44, V36)
GMATPep 4: 640 (Q42, V35)
Excersise material: All OG's (official, math, verbal), MGMAT CATs (scores are not representative because I had to reset them), MGMAT books, etc. Hence a lot and I also went through many of OG questions twice with error log, etc. (Unfortunately I would have only 2 GMATPrep left that I can purchase, if I decide to continue studying for the GMAT)
Real GMAT exams
GMAT 1: 540 (2-3 years ago)
GMAT 2: 630 (Q43, V34), IR:4
Professional experience: >10 years (banking and consulting)
Education: Bachelor business administration, GPA 3.6 and diploma in computer science, GPA 4.0

Hi,
As your experience is quite good, you should go for one more attempt because the colleges you have chosen are TOP ones. Your experience may compensate for your low score, but it is always good to have around 700 if you are targeting the best colleges. Age is also a factor, so without wasting much of your time you should start dedicated studies. Your Verbal is quite good, but Quant is quite low. Work more on quant.

Thanks for your swift reply QZ.
Agree. However I am wondering whether I should focus now on the three OGs, the general, math and the verbal one, or whether I should sign up for another training program as mentioned in bb 's post here https://gmatclub.com/forum/should-i-ret ... 83339.html
I don't know whether it is worth spending $1k for another Economist GMAT training program because I think I know the content itself quite well.
Any suggestions how to proceed?
As you already mentioned I need to improve in the quant section. Thus, any advice what training material I can use besides the below mentioned would be helpful.
Training material I used so far: OG (latest ones: general, math, verbal), MGMAT CATs, MGMAT books (all of them, including the advanced quant book), Magoosh lessons and all practice problems, GMATPrep Exams (including additional exam pack 1)
