Yes, the admins will see that you've taken the GMAT multiple times. But 3 times is usually the max that I think students should try taking the test.

I feel your pain Cdawg. This is many a students worst nightmare. But looking on the bright side, look at how much your verbal improved. An improvement of 7 points is nothing to sneeze at.

You should also plan out a gmat study strategy. If you only have about 4 weeks until your test date, the most effective strategy is to first identify your areas of weakness and work out a gameplan to improve these areas first.

Try making notecards for specific problems that you are getting wrong. You need to document exactly what mistake you are making, even if its a careless error and come up with a strategy to make sure you don't make the same mistake twice.

The diagnostic test questions on the official guide are fairly high level difficulty problems, so its actually pretty common to get most of them wrong before any gmat preparation.

Nevertheless, it may raise a bit of a red flag if they see that you've taken the test numerous times. I'd recommend making sure you are thoro...
