Hi guys,
I took the gmat twice months ago and my scores were 470 & 480. I didnt prepare for the exams thus i got very low scores.
My question is, will those low scores have negative impacts on schools which i plan to apply even i'll receive a 700+ score on my 3rd attempt?
Thank you very much,
Yenal Sumertas

Hi ynlsmrts,
I think before we discuss the impression you'd send to business schools, we should acknowledge that this kind of jump would take a lot of work, effort and dedication. With that in mind, your two previous scores are so similar, it's clear you're making the same kinds of mistakes and have developed some bad habits that we need to figure out. So, that being said:
1) What materials have you used thus far?
2) What is your target score?
3) When are you planning on applying for business school?
Best,
Rich

Hi Yenal,
I noticed that you posted this in another Forum, so I've pasted over my response from there:
The short answer is NO - your prior scores will probably not impact how Business Schools will view a higher, more recent score. Business Schools have never really cared about how many times an applicant took the Official GMAT. With the recent inclusion of the 'score cancellation' option, Schools now know that they will be no way to know how many times an applicant took the GMAT.
What resources have you been using during your recent studies?
When are you planning to take the GMAT?
