Thanks in advance to anyone who responds to this post. I am having a really tough time deciding on whether to take the GMAT for a 5th time in the near future. I have been trying to beat this thing for almost a year now and I'm completely baffled by my scores. Here are my scores
12/5/11: 39V 45Q 680
3/2/12: 40V 44Q 690
6/15/12: 35V 48Q 680
7/21/12: 40V 39Q 650
As you can see, I am scoring all over the board and I don't see how that's possible. My most recent score is incredibly disappointing. On the test, I never feel rushed and I answer every question with ample time left over at the end. How is it possible that my Quant. score can drop off like that? I KNOW I am capable of a 720-730 score if I can put it all together on the same day, but to the admissions teams, does this make me look bad and inconsistent? I'm really worried about signing up again for the 5th time, but I feel like I have to in order to show that I can pull it all together. My target schools are: UVA, Duke, UNC, Emory, and Vanderbilt. Please advise!! What am I doing wrong?? Like I said, I move through the tests and feel like I'm doing well the whole time until my score pops up at the end. 690 is good and may gain me admission in the end, but I feel like I need a 700+ just to be safe. Thanks again.
