HI All,

Below are my GMAT attempts summary, My score felled from 680 to 610.

QUESTION: The colleges that says they take "best Score" consider highest score irrespective of raise or fall compared to previous attempts?

Question: do i have to give the justification of steep fall in my score during application process? (if yes, should I take GMAT for 4th time to improve?)

Guys, waiting for your feedback:)

Summary GMAT attempts: 3 GMAT attempts , below are details

1) Sept 2009 : 610
2) April2012 : 680
3) Sept2012 : 610

Hello, Eathen. That question is probably better addressed by a college admissions officer. You may want to post it in some of the business school forums. You could also join us on Twitter tomorrow at 11:30 am CEST. We will be talking with ESSEC and Cambridge about MBA admissions strategies. You can see the details here: mba.com/mbachat

"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."
