I have taken my GMAT once with a paltry score of 600. I was doing good in GMATPrep and Manhattan tests, averaging around 700. Scored bitterly in Verbal section.
I am taking it again this year and have given myself a period of 1.5 months to prepare since I already am aware of the syllabus and course materials.
Any suggestions on:
1. Whether taking GMAT again is going to effect my prospects, considering both my scores will be available. Do all the Universities consider both the scores?
2. Am I taking enough time for my preparation, or should I get myself more time?

1) Only two scores won't negatively impact your application - the vast majority of GMAT test takers take the test twice. Most universities will consider your highest score.

2) No one can tell you if 1 month is enough time to prepare. Jumping 100 points in a month is difficult, but it's been done before. I generally think people shouldn't schedule their tests until they are regularly (ie, on at least 3 consecutive, FULL-LENGTH [including AWA] practice tests, scoring at or above their target). You have to do what's right for you, no one can answer whether you've given yourself enough time to study.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
