GMAT 640, Should I take retest?

[akchop10]

Hi Everyone!

Took GMAT 2 days back and got 640[Q49(85%) V28(48%)]. Had to blindly guess around 5-6(3-4 at last + 2 in with 20-30) due to time crunch in verbal. Its my second attempt at GMAT.

Please guide whether I should go for GMAT again. And if so, how can I improve on timings which looks to be my weak area.

Test Scores as follows..
MGMAT5 640(Q44, V34)
MGMAT1a 640(Q46, V33)
MGMAT2A 610(Q47, V28)
MGMAT3A 590(Q37, V34)
MGMAT4A 680(Q47, V35)
MGMAT5A 650(Q44, V35)
GMATPREP1(V28)GMATPREP2(Q47 V22)
GMATPREP1(REP)(Q48, V30), GMATPREP2(REP)(49,28)
And Couple of Kaplans with Verbal around 33.

Does it look that if I can get verbal 35? Guess, that would raise the score to 700 when coupled with Q49! What do you think after looking at the scores?

In general, I'm looking for schools in Europe. With a 3yrs experience and 640 GMAT, does that fit the bill?

Thanks a lot!

I think randomly guessing in the verbal is suicidal. If you get 4-5 questions in a row wrong then your chance of getting a decent score is gone. you need to manage your time better. see if you can finish mock test in time without making too many mistakes.
