Hi Guys,
I have taken the GMAT twice already, my latest attempt on July 12, 2012 and the first one on May 16, 2012. My scores were almost identical on both the attempts:
1st Attempt: 670 (Q45, V37)
2nd Attempt: 680 (Q46, V37)
I am currently contemplating whether to take the test for the third time. I have taken classes from Princeton Review in India, which did help, but I feel that my level of preparation has reached a plateau. I was wondering whether any money back online couses such as the e-GMAT or Gmat pill would be of help to me at this stage? I studied for my second attempt keeping my focus on Quant but clearly that did not help much. I was wondering whether I should change my strategy and focus on getting my verbal score up and whether these courses would be helpful in changing my strategy?
Thanks in anticipation.
Regards,
Mohit

Hi,
As far i know they take only the highest score out of all the attempts.
Also, i will suggest you to retake it provided you are confident of getting a good score.
And, there is nothing wrong in giving it again provided that 250$ doesnt bother you much
Good luck!

All the adcoms say they take the highest score. Also, read of folks who scored lower second time around, and were fine.
Besides, it's only one factor in your application. If the rest of the application is not so strong, the score may be the final straw.
You might want to post which school you're applying to, and how you feel about the rest of your application. People will be able to give you more specific recommendations on whether it's worth the retake.
