My GMAT prep consisted of a Princeton Review Prep course and the review guides that came with it + The Official GMAT Review guide (13th ed). My classes didn't seem too helpful due to their incredibly slow pace (most of the other students in the course were aiming for scores in the mid 500s) and the teacher didn't seem like he had a strong grasp on the material--in fact, sometimes he taught us stuff that was blatantly incorrect. At the same time, though, the course did offer what I considered to be a strong structure and a logical progression that definitely guided me throughout the process.
My practice scores from the MBA official website ranged from 640 (early on in the process) to 690 (the day before the exam) and I ended up with a 690. My math score was lower than I expected but my verbal score was higher.
The reason why I'm tempted to re-take the GMAT is (a) It seems like there's much better review material out there, such as the Manhattan GMAT prep set and (b) I'm planning on applying to top-15 MBA programs within 5 years (I'm entering an accelerated MSF program this summer, and hope to gain 3-4 years of professional WE before I apply). I realize that 3-4 years of WE is relatively low for most of the top programs, but at that point I'll already be 29-30 years old.
I took my GMAT on 4/10/13
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Hi Esuric
You should definitely give GMAT again if you want to improve your score. The B-Schools you are targeting look for high GMAT score. If you improve your score than it will show the admission committee your commitment to the goals set for yourselves. Also, while you take time to improve your score, you should look for opportunities where you could show skills like leadership, multi-tasking and perseverance. The ad-comms will look for these qualities apart from a high GMAT score.
Best of Luck!

I'm assuming you are targeting at Top-15 from the Financial Times' rank and you are only considering schools in US.
690 is not a bad score, but if you don't consider other great schools from the next layer (such as Michigan Ross, Cornell Johnson, Duke Fuqua), unless you have a really great story to tell, I'd recommend you to retake the GMAT to increase your chances.
Another light in your vision. If you're going to apply with 29/30 years, make sure you also choose wisely what career you want to aim. For instance, management consulting firms and investment banks usually prefer younger graduates (even though there are some graduates who succeed in their career plan with 32/33 years in such positions).
Good luck!

). If you think you can, then by all means throw yourself into it.
