Hi guys,
I know that you guys have an admission forum here but It is not really interesting for me, since It is mainly for the well known american business school while my goal are the european MS Finance Programs. So my Question is:
Should I keep going with the GMAT and try a third time to improve my score? (I already studied 2 months with Empowergmat, e-Gmat and Manhattan Books).
My first Score:
600, (Q43,V29)
Second Score:
650 (Q46, V34)
Between the first and second score lie exactly 16 days and to be honest I did not do anything for quant during this 16 days, I mainly concentrated on SC (did not prepare for CR and RC during the 2 months at all. I think I did like 5 RC Questions in total during the 2 months + the ones from the Gmat PREP software of course but without analyzing it afterwards).
On the one side I feel like I am capable of more since I also could not manage my time well in my second GMAT in Verbal (had to skip a lot of questions midways cause I was under panic), but on the other side I feel very exhausted and don't wan't to start studying again.

Hi. I am not an expert and I have just bumped into this post.
To be honest, I really don't understand why you didn't train yourself in RC and in CR especially, since they are as importan as the SC. If you reached V34 studying only the SC, imagine what you could have done with the right preparation. It depends on what are your goals, what you are aiming at. 650 can be good if linked to a good CV.
Ps. Are you Italian ?

Hi FreakingGPAforZero,
A 650 is a strong score (it's right around the 80th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. You would probably be able to better assess the strength of your GMAT score if you research a bit into the Schools that you plan to apply to. Many Schools provide information on their respective class 'profiles' (including average test scores, etc.) - if the School's website doesn't provide you with the information that you're looking for, then you could contact the School's Admissions Office directly to ask your questions.
All of that having been said, from what you described, you limited your studies to certain subjects - which means that you left a lot of potential points 'up in the air' because you didn't hone your skills in those other areas. If you do choose to retest, then you could potentially pick up some big points if you broaden your focus and put in the necessary effort.
