Hello,
I took the GMAT for the first time in September 2011 and got a 580 (q42, v28). A lot of things went wrong on test day and I was determined to retake the test. So I booked in for November. Last week I retook the exam and came out with a 580 again. The break down is a bit different q 47 v25. I was completely shocked as this time around I thought I was doing great. My overall profile is quite unique and I am applying as an Australian (not a very competetive pool). I am applying to a couple of schools with this score (trying my luck). I read somewhere that a low verbal score on the GMAT can be offset by strong essays and recommendations and a high GPA. I have strong essays and a GPA of 3.5. However, I would like to get your advice. Do you think GMAT for the 3rd time is the right move?
Thanks guys

Yes, would advise a third time take on the GMAT. A 580 will make you uncompetitive at most places even with an otherwise strong profile.

I dont think a third attempt would hurt but it also depends on what schools you are applying to and some other items, like work experience, etc.
If you have a good resume and aren't going too competitive I think you can get away with it, but to be honest I would be shocked if you couldnt improve your verbal score with a little effort.
