GMAT number of tries

by imagine421 » Sun Sep 20, 2009 6:26 pm
I have given my GMAT 3 times. Here is the breakdown.

1. The first time, there was a computer glitch at the center. I had the whole RC read and figured out but because of the glitch there was a delay of 30 mins and when they gave my writing pad back it was completely erased. I had to redo the RC and i could not finish my verbal section (left 7 questions due to all the confusion). I did not take the score then. Even the GMAT people figured the issue and charged me no fees for the nect time I took a date for.

2. Second and third time I got a 640.

I have read that more than 3 times is a red flag. I want to give my GMAT 1 more time to see if I can hit the 700 mark. But if more than 3 times is going to be a red flag then I dont want to go ahead with it. Will my first attempt be counted?

Please advice.
