Hi,
I'd like some crisp advice on retaking my GMAT. I've taken GMAT twice last year and scored a miserly 540 on both accounts. Needless to say, after visiting this forum, I've realized that my preparation was below par.
I was so despondent after the results that I did not apply to any schools (obviously!).
I've sorta decided that I should give GMAT another go but I'm somehow unable to motivate myself enough and have this mental block that I've got such dreadful scores earlier that another failed attempt will be my death knell as far as a Career in management is concerned. Hence, I'm unable to make a head start.
I need some advice on whether I should even consider giving GMAT a third time and what my strategy should be this time around.
A brief on my profile to give you'll a better insight.
I'm working with a very reputed product company in their software division as a developer. I have a little over 5 years of work ex. I'm looking at doing a 1 year MBA as opposed to a 2 year one. I'm at a stage in my career where I need to make the switch now or I'll have invested a lot more time in the technical field and a switch to a management role will be a difficult one to make.
I'll also be grateful if I could receive suggestions on any online prep courses for Quant because I feel I'm a tad better in Verbal than in Quant.
Thanks.

Hi Sowmya,
Well! I guess our profiles are similar but since you are a female, you have got less competition
..Now, Could you tell us about how you have been preparing till now? What books? How did you study?
Your quant and verbal scores in both attempts?
What actually matters is quality over quantity as far as preparation is concerned.
I took ma gmat recently and scored less than what I used to get on mocks. So I am gonna take it again but I guess I was in a similar situation as you are in. So, maybe I could help..
Press kudos to encourage me
Regards,
Sach

Hi Sachin,
I used MGMAT books for Quant.
For Verbal, I referred to Powerscore for CR and MGMAT for a few concepts on SC and RC.
As is evident, the preparations were nothing to gloat about and it reflected in my scores
I had scored a 670 and 650 on the two GMAT preps I had taken.
I took both my attempts about less than a month and half apart from each other.
It's been more than three months since I've given my 2nd attempt.
