Dear Anujladha,

Thanks for your post!

I'm sorry to hear that the GMAT exam has been such a significant hurdle for you thus far. I have a few points of advice I'd like to offer:

1) Don't worry about taking the test a third - or even fourth time. While the ideal scenario for anyone would be a 750 on the first try, the truth is that many applicants take the test a few times, and that your overall best score is more important than the number of times you take it. Obviously, I don't advocate taking the test 6 or 7 times, but given that you've only taken it twice and that one of those times was actually 3+ years ago, I see no reason for you to be concerned about taking it one or two more times if need be.

2) If you have a documented learning disability you may want to contact the folks at GMAC/Pearson to see if you can take the test under special conditions (e.g. with extra time). This may help you deal with some of the timing issues you are having. Read this document to learn a bit more: http://www.mba.com/NR/rdonlyres/C8CAE4AD-1E58-4746-9F0F-741CC7FF0D92/0/ADASupplement010507.pdf

3) Try using GMAT prep materials from another company like ManhattanGMAT or Kaplan. Princeton Review's materials are known to be a bit easier than the actual exam (largely to build one's confidence), but it sounds like you need something that will push you a bit harder. Both MGMAT and Kaplan offer sample questions that are more accurately correlated with the real exam (if anything Kaplan's questions are a bit more difficult than the real test). The MGMAT Strategy Guides are particularly good.

4) Consider working with a GMAT tutor to specifically isolate and understand the areas in which you struggle. Given that you've taken the exam twice without the results you'd wanted, I'm not sure I'd venture into a third sitting without a good deal of rigorous training via tutoring, another course, etc.

Best of luck with your GMAT efforts,

Graham
