GMAT Score:650

I bought a few of the popular GMAT study guides and took the test a couple of months ago. In general, I found the practice content did not reflect the difficulty of the actual GMAT. I was very disappointed to get a 650 on the exam, as I was aiming for a 700+. I bought a couple books that claim to review the hardest questions (Gmat 800 by Kaplan) I studied these books for about a month and a half and then took a couple of the free practice exams online (Kaplan and Princeton Review) and received 680, 670 respectively. I am scheduled to take the GMAT again in a couple of days. Since the chances don't seem very good that I'll break a 700, I'm thinking that it may be a better idea to skip the test and re-take it after taking a comprehensive course. Should I wait until I'm better prepared, or take it anyway? Does 650, 670, 700 look worse to business school admissions than 650, 700? Thanks.

Dear Jason,

If you can reschedule your test without losing your $250, then it might be worth waiting if you plan to take a course. Schools will not frown on you taking the test more than twice as it indicates your perseverance and commitment to going to business school. There are a handful of schools that think more than 3 attempts is futile, but generally speaking, most schools will not think much about multiple GMAT attempts.

Good luck,
Lisa
