Hi! I studied for 4 hours a day for 4 months!
Scored
720 twice - GMAT prep(official mocks)
710 twice - GMAT prep ( official mocks)
700 - MGMAT
640 - MGMAT (first mock)
I performed poorly on actual day and got just 660! I was hoping to get around 700 for the first time!
I blanked out when I sae the questions! RC was going over my head, I took more time in the starting and was left with very little time in the end!
Same happend with me un the quant! I took so much time solving the first questions! I did questions like the ones in gmat before and even then I took more time to understand how it has to be solved! I was numb!
I think I got blank and was cold and numb because I was unprepared!
Attaching my ESR!
Any advise would be greatful!
Thank you guys!

Hi vishwajeetarora,
First off, a 660/Q48 is a strong Score, so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/
There's certainly no harm in retesting though - and you have the potential to pick up points in BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. Before we discuss the data in your ESR, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

vishwajeetarora - I am sorry to hear that you did not achieve your target score. However, 660 is a good score but I understand that, as an Indian male, you would need to score higher on the GMAT, to get a competitive edge over other applicants.
That said, I would advise you to not blindly rely on the opinions of others. We have a well-structured in-house guide that can help you make a decision. Therefore, please take a few moments to review the GMAT Club Retake plan: Retaking GMAT Strategies!
