Where to go from here 2nd try 550

by jtlaw83 » Sat Oct 15, 2011 12:54 pm
Looking to get some advice on whether or not to take the GMAT for a 3rd time. Not looking to get into a top program but one with an average score of 600+. Spent 2 months studying an hour every night after work and approximately 3 hours each weekend using OG 12th Edition & various Kaplan books.

Took a practice test from mba.com last week scored a 640 & thought I was going to do well today but ended up with a 550 39 Q, 27 V. I am very frustrated, don't know if it's worth taking the test again, got a 530 32 Q, 29 V the first time without much studying. Looking to transfer careers and become a CPA and thought the best way was to get into an masters in accounting program. Would a bachelors degree be a better option since I cannot beat this test? Thanks for any help!
