I am an engineer. Work ex 4 years in "Engineering sector" in India. Average percentage in Engineering degree is 67 % (GPA 3.5 approx).

Results of GMAT attempts as under.
1. 550 (Q 45, V19)
2. 340 (don't know the break up)
3. 610 (Q 49, V 25) (1st June 2012)

Material used:
1. All MGMAT books for verbal and quant
2. All three official guide books
3. All three Kaplan books

Overall performance for 3rd attempt was good compare to 1st and 2nd and everything going good. Mock results were also good and average of 700 and Average score in Quant around 45 to 50 and Verbal around 35 to 42.

1. GMAT prep 1: 680
2. MGMAT 1: 650
3. MGMAT 2: 700
4. MGMAT 3: 720
5. MGMAT 4: 680
6. GMAT prep 2: 700

Now don't under what to do? Where to apply? Should I go for 4th attempt? If this many attempts will hurt my profile?

Not understanding what to do? Lots of confusion?

Expert please help...

You have already had lots of practice and probably now you should focus only on working on your weaknesses. There is always room for improvement.
What about your timing in the exam? Does any type of question take you more time to solve than other types? Do you make any guesses? If yes, do you have any strategy in this respect?

Also you should bear in mind that the scores can vary because every exam is different in a way - not only it comprises experimental questions but also the regular questions are sometimes quite surprising.

However, at this point in your exam preparation I would say that the considerable part of the problem might be related to timing or concentration span.
