Hi Mohit,

The first suggestion that I would like to give as GMAT trainer is that you must be focusing on Verbal as there is a huge potential to improve the score. You can easily reach a score of minimum 35 in Verbal which will improve your total score by approx. 80 marks.

Secondly your Quant also has potential to be improved further for a score of 50 giving you an extra score of 20 Marks but at this stage when you have not been able to get a good score after taking 3 attempts I can't suggest you to do the preparation on your own.

There is something seriously wrong about your strategy of preparation and solving questions of Verbal therefore I would suggest you must do the preparation under guidance of some expert.

None of our students has ever scored less than 35 in Verbal so we would like to offer you one FREE Online Interactive demo class for Verbal and then offer you our assessment about your preparation and way forward for improvement.

To answer the last query, None of the universities considers the number of attempts that you made for improving GMAT score they considers only the best score available not older than 5 years.

You must take expert guidance for sure. Taking Jam or any other coaching is completely your decision which should be based on your experience in Demo class. So I would suggest that take demo classes with all coachings that you are considering for joining and join where you find best support from faculties and best instructions to improve your score.

I would be happy to offer you FREE Online interactive demo class for Quant and Verbal. Judge based on your experience.

All the best!!!

Thanks a lot for your reply GMATinsight. But let me explain you again that it was my 2nd attempt and not the 3rd. Secondly, it was just the main test in which I scored a 24 in verbal. In the mocks provided by the GMAC while registering GMAT and those in the additional Exam Pack1, I scored consistently between 34-38 in verbal and overall scored around 680-710 in those mocks. So I guess in no case my preparation has a big flaw to work upon. Guess it was a bad day. It was only when I had given my 1st GMAT that my verbal was weak, which I admit. anyways, thanks again for your response.

My apologies for miscounting of your attempts.

If that's the case then you should take the earliest possible date for taking GMAT again. Delaying it further delay might cause some lag in your preparation and that could affect it a little bad.

Many students score really good when they take it in gap of 1 month in case they have had a bad day like you did.

All the best!!!

Hi mohiit401

As far as GMAT 3rd attempt is concerned from an application perspective would be something you should really think before you take a go at it again. In general a lot of students take GMAT more than once to get the desired score and even though the admissions committee might not have major issues but they definitely want to see improvement in your GMAT score every time you take it with a consistent rise of at least a 50 points.

So in our opinion you can go ahead and take the GMAT but this time do it only if you feel super confident that you will be able to get at least a better score. You might want to take some tougher tests to see how well you do on them.

Good Luck!

Thanks and Regards
