Hi..
Today I gave my GMAT exam and was shocked to see the results. 640 (Q - 47, V - 30, IR - 5). I had previously given GMAT thrice and the scores were 620 - 680 - 710 respectively. All these 3 tests were given before the changes in GMAT format were introduced.I took the third attempt in July 2011.Due to personal reasons I didn't apply to B-schools though I got 710. Last time(3rd attempt) when I took the GMAT,I was expecting atleast 730 because I had clocked 740 in the 2 GMAT preps that I gave before the real test.
There are 2 reasons why I wrote the GMAT again now.
1. This year I am applying to top B-schools in US (ranking 5- 15). My GMAT score was on par with the average of these B-schools .Since I come from India and have a career spanned in IT consulting, I thought getting a higher score than 710 would help me.
2. Since I got 730 in the GMAT prep last time, I assumed that, with more preparation I can easily touch 730 - 740.
So I started preparing again from Aug .
Last week I gave GMATprep twice and scored 730 each time. So I was confident and scheduled my GMAT . But today I am shell shocked to see my results. I have no clue as to why my score has gone down so badly. I am very confused and going crazy. I just have few more weeks(6- 8 weeks) to apply to the schools. But I am not sure whether I need to write the GMAT again(would be my 5th attempt) or just use my 710(3rd attempt) score. Will the B-schools hold this multiple attempts against me? Pls advice .

don't lose heart, imho it is better if you write it again.
though schools may not see 5 attempts in positive light, a score lower than 710 would tell them you have given up
and want to rest on past laurels. if you can do it once you can do it again.

Do you want to become a gmat tutor?? if yes target 750, if no then focus on your application, write good essays, dont be obsessed with gmat and dont waste your time and money.
