Hello rahulmunot,

Thank you for your post!

Before commenting on the GMAT, I would like to note that several factors (undergraduate record, professional accomplishments, demonstrated leadership, extracurricular activities, etc.) comprise the evaluation of MBA candidates. So, you'll want to consider other facets of your candidacy in addition to the GMAT. If you feel that the GMAT is holding you back, the benefits of scoring higher would outweigh the risks of taking it too many times. If you have not already done so, you may consider signing up with a test prep firm (you can see profiles of various firms in our free Strategy Guide to GMAT Preparation Companies (https://www.clearadmit.com/products/stra ... companies/)) for additional help. With a jump of 110 points from the first to second test, some help may push you even further!

Good luck!
