Hi Guys,

I just gave my gmat today. It was the 4th time that I gave my Gmat :( (Out of 4 times, 3 times I wrote it within a gap of 1 year). My recent Gmat score is

600 (Apt 49, Verbal 23)

The last 3 scores are as follows

600 (Apt 47, Verbal 25)
570 (Apt 48, Verbal 20)
560 (Apt 47, Verbal 20)

In my all mock tests I was doing good. The least score that I got was 660 and highest 720.

However, on the all 4 gmat tests, I was not able to concentrate on the verbal part thinking that I've screwed my Apt portion, which is my strength (Having scored 50 in mocks most of the times). Also, the least score that I got in verbal was 29 in mocks. I gave so many attempts to Gmat since I believed that my verbal is definitely better than what my actual scores suggest. But I could not improve. Like I said, it's more of a phycological problem whenever I write gmat.
I am not able to cope up with the test pressure thinking about my Apt portion. Though, in all the 4 gmat tests I was able to get a decent apt score.

Now, could you please advice me on this. Shall I write the test again, considering that it would be my 5th attempt. Eagerly Waiting for you replies..

Dear Rohit3249,

I do not think it is worth your time and money to take the GMAT for a fifth time. The likelihood you would increase your score decreases with each attempt after the third. At this point, I think your energy is better served working on your applications. Your essays and interview will demonstrate your verbal English ability and can mitigate your verbal score on the GMAT. Likewise, they give you a chance to shine and make your case for admission. Just my 2 cents...

Good luck,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I really appreciate that.

Lisa, The reason that I gave Gmat so many times and may want to give it again is that I don't think with a score of 600, I can get into any decent school, if not good. Also, I can see a good chances of improvement in verbal part since I scored only 23 in that. :( (Accepting the fact that I wasn't able to do so in my last 3 attempts)

Please let me know your suggestions on this. Would it have a very negative impact on my applications if I write it again? Or I should go ahead and apply with the same score?

Thank you one again for your reply.

Regards.
Rohit
