I am scheduled to re-take the GMAT Feb 4th, 2010. This will be my second time taking the test, and lucky me I get to take it for free this time due to an "anomaly" found in my first test. The first time I took it, I studied for about 2 months ahead of time, even took some free classes to brush up on doing math with out a calculator. I basically did as much preparing as I was mentally capable of handling. Unfortunately not only did I test below what I was expecting I tested unbelievably low = 410 to be exact. =(
On this go around I have also been studying since I knew about the test well ahead of time. And I am scared that I will end up testing just as poorly as before. I would like to shoot for a 540-600 range. I don't think I have high expectations.
My main question is for those people who have taken it numerous times:
1. Do you honestly find that it improves your score to take it more than once or twice?
2. Do you find it worth your money ($250) to take the test again?
Other than the GMAT I have a 3.75 undergrad GPA, and excellent letters of recommendation from professors and previous employers. So my question to current or applying MBA students and those with lower scores:
1. Are you finding it hard to get positive feedback from schools due to lower score?
2. Do you find it worth your money to apply to schools of your choice, or should I just aim for schools with low expectations???
Any suggestions from anyone would be great, thanks so much!
