At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

You guys won't believe my GMAT experience!
I took the GMAT before in late June. I scored 660 (42M, 39V) and decided to take it again since my math score was a bit low. I moved across country at the end of the next month and it took me awhile to get resettled (the movers lost my furniture, a minor car accident, etc) and I finally took it again last night (4pm exam).
I scored 640. But what baffles me is that I scored 48 on Math, while my verbal score dropped significantly to 29. 39 was like the 89th percentile, 29 is down to 50th.
I never ran out of time on the verbal section before, but for some reason I could not focus on the verbal section and had to read certain passages twice, thus running out of time and guessing on the last 10 out of 41 questions.
So I must attempt it again. I wanted to know if anyone knows how the Bschools look at people taking it multiple times. This would be my third time and since my scores flipped, I feel like I have no other choice but to take it again (my score would definitely break 700 if you took the best of each section), but I am worried as to how the Bschools would view it. Anything you members know would be greatly appreciated.

Virtually all schools say they will look at your highest score. As far as I know, Tuck is the only school that will take your highest score from each section from different exams. I know that UCLA does say something like they will look at three or more attempts as a whole.

For what it's worth - Wharton's admissions pages clearly specify that they only look at the highest score.
