Hi Guys,
I am writing this post because I am in a really bad situation and i really need some advice n suggestion.
After working for 3 years as Techie got fed up and I felt the need to complete my MBA to redirect my career and to bring my career on a different track. I took GMAT in early Sept last year and scored 570 (V:21; Q:47; A:5). I had studied for 3 months (1.5 hrs Monday to Saturday and 8 hrs Sunday). I couldn't study for entire last two weeks becasue of work pressure. Insted of rescheduling my test i lowered my expected GMAT score to 620 because i knew i might not get a second chance to retake GMAT provided the hectic work conditions. Based on my test scores and considering the fact that I didnt study the last two weeks before my exam I was expecting to see atleast 620 on the real GMAT. After completing the test when i saw 570 score on the screen i got very disappointed and annoyed. After that in March because of some family emergency i had to consider quitting my job (My leave request was turned down, I was spending time from 6:30 am to 10:00 pm almost everyday for work). Considering that there was a family emergency along with my ambition to complete my MBA i decided to quit my job, take care of the all the long pending Issues and retake my GMAT.
I started preparing for GMAT again. I took all my practice test mimicing the real test conditions. This time I was scoring consistently in 600s on my practice tests: 650 PRINCETON, around 660 on MGMAT (3 TESTS) and 600 in KAPLAN(4 TESTS).
I took the test last week and to my surprise i got 500 in the second attempt. I was really surprised and was extremly disappointed. I applied all strategies as i had in the practice tests but still i just dont know what went so wrong that i got 500 (V:17; Q:42; A:4.5). I did not miss a single question on the test. I really dont know what happened.
Now the situation is even worse: got 570 on GMAT in first attempt, 500 in second attempt and gap of 4 months in Exp.
After sorting out all the Issues, I have started applying for a second job.
Will this gap negatively impact on my application to universities?
What should I do now?
Guys/Experts, I know, overall, i am in a bad situation but I really want to complete my MBA even from a resonably good University if not from top notch schools. Pls advice/ suggest what to do. I really need help.
