Overall - 640 (73rd percentile)
Quant - Scaled score - 41 - 54 Percentile
Verbal - Scaled score - 38 - 84 Percentile
Quant:
I started off Quant by losing 4 minutes. The screen after the 1 min instruction screen stated something like "Click Ok when ready to begin the test". I had no clue that the time I spent waiting on that screen would be counted against the 75 minutes for the Quant section.
I had timing issues all through Quant and felt very nervous knowing that I lost 4 minutes to start with. I gained my composure half way through quant but it was a little too late. But, looking back I don't think I would have done extremely well on Quant even if I started off on time etc. So really I found the Quant section
to be challenging.
Verbal:
The verbal section was a lot more manageable. I was rushed on time on the last 5 questions but overall I went through this section staying calm and focused. But again I didn't ace this section either.
My Target score - 700+.
Should I give it again? What are the odds I can beat the GMAT? I already spent 9 months preparing for the GMAT using all the good books.
GMAT Prep scores:
First attempt Test 1 - 620. Did not review the test since I knew I would want to take it again.
First attempt Test 2 - 620. Did not review the test since I knew I would want to take it again.
Second attempt Test 1 - 720. Very few repeats (2 in Quant and 1 in Verbal)
Second attempt Test 1 - 720. Very few repeats (1-2 in Quant, 3 in verbal)
MGMAT CAT scores:
630, 640
Any advice is helpful.
What should I do differently this time around?
Is it worth giving the test again. I am looking at top 20 schools and do need a 700 but I am not sure if I can break that barrier.

How confident are you with Quant?
Have you been scoring much higher in practice tests?
You may need to just brush up on your quant stills and take it again.

"In that vein, I often tell people that if they do (an understand, and complete in two minutes) every question in The Official Guide to GMAT Review, they'll be ready for the test, and will likely score in the 90th percentile. I've rarely been wrong." That is a quote from Jeff Sackmann's Total GMAT Math book.
You should really be completely dominating the official guide if you want a 700+. Where are you at with this?
