Hi experts,

I wanted to know , does writing GMAT 4 to 5 times hamper the application process?? As the college may ask why did you write GMAT so many times??
How to tackle this problem??


Hi Puneeth,

It's not a difficult question to tackle. Provided you have shown an improvement every time. This could also be interpreted as your determination to get a better score.

I would strongly suggest you to prepare well before your next attempt and make sure you reach the desired score. For that try taking maximum number of mock tests and prepare hard. This might help you: https://goo.gl/LT72yk

As rightly said above if the trend is on the higher side then it would be taken as +ve otherwise -ve.

Furthermore, in my opinion I would rather say you shouldn't waste an attempt only when you are scoring consistently enough on mocks you should appear for the real thing.
