I scored 690 on the GMAT about one year ago and I am trying to decide whether or not to retake the test. I'm particularly concerned with my low quant score, and hope to bring it up. I took the test last time after a Kaplan prep course, and can't afford to take the course again, so would be on my own this time, which makes me a bit nervous. I plan on applying to school to enter fall of 2011 and want to shoot for some of the top programs - ideally I'd like to be in Chicago: Kellogg, Booth or perhaps Michigan.
Please review the following information and let me know if you have any advice. Thank you in advance.
