Here's my GMAT story: 690 (1st); 710 (2nd); 3rd attempt????

Hey everybody,

I've recently been introduced to this site..so..here's my GMAT story which rather old... I Gave my GMAT last year twice...The 1st time, I got 690, the second time 710....But, I'm far from satisfied with the score. Being a techie, I've got some really reliable info that ISB expects higher scores from the ppl from IT fields...And ISB being my preferred destination, I wanna try givin t again....I got..like 45 days left for preparation now if I wanna go for it....

So, all those gurus out there....please enlighten me....Should I go ahead trying to be 3rd time lucky...and is the time sufficient at all? :(

Well, seriously, do you think ISB will look only @scores ?

Before giving it a 3rd time, just think over whether the other parts of ur application are strong or not... May you take the best decision.

Giving it the 3rd time is a good idea ONLY IF you really can increase your score by more than 50points and not just 10/20points...which is not any different from what you already have.......

Taking the test a third time will only be worthwhile if you can prepare and be confident you will increase your score substantially.

I would take GMATPrep tests until you're scoring in your desired range. Make sure to take into account the fact that it might repeat questions, too. Only after that would I take another GMAT.

(note -- you take a test, unless you are a teacher who gives a test to his/her students)

Hope this helps.
