You can take the test once every 31 days and can take the test five times in a given year.

There is no stated limit to the number of years that you can attempt the test.

So there is no stated maximum number of attempts.

Score reports that MBA programs receive give your scores from the last 5 years.

So you may want to keep that in mind. I have heard from admissions professionals that 3 times is no problem. 5 times or more could require an explanation from you as to why you took it so many times.

But remember that you are unique and so is your circumstance so do what you need to do to succeed!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
