multi GMAT but how many? any limit?

I read a lot of posts talking about not giving up and blah blah... I want to know what is the limit of number of attempts for this exam? Till how many years one should plan about being into B-School and if doesn't work then what to do? There must be a number that don't go beyond 13 times or 5 times or 11 times but there should be number? And even after 3 attempts one can't get the score then should he join the Devry University or University of Pheonix or University of Continental America and take that MBA to get a Job at The World Bank so HR staff of WB can put this Devry Graduate in Senior Managment.

Don't confuse it is not me, I haven't even sit for first time but when I see people scoring horrible even in second time then I kind of start thinking about it.

I've heard 5 times and more starts to look suspicious. However, if you get an 800 on your 10th time, I'm sure some B-school will find it in their hearts to forgive your previous efforts
