Check with the business school you are applying to, a lot of schools don't let you transfer credits from other MBA programs.
Yes,I know. This is for M.S,not MBA. I am planning to use the credits toward my pre requisite incase they don't consider it toward graduation. That's the reason I am taking only 1 course so that I don't spend my time and money only to realize that the credits were not accepted.
Is it possible that you just aren't cut out for graduate study or to work at jobs that require education beyond a bachelors degree? What happens when you have to compete against the people who scored 600+ on the GMAT?
(I'm not trying to be an ass; I'm just putting the question out there. Getting a graduate or professional degree should be something that only the top tier of students attain. We all know that the job market certainly can't accommodate everyone who is going to graduate and professional school.)

The GMAT is not a good all-round indicator for if rather someone should be in graduate school or not. My GMAT score was QUITE modest (a 560), but it was enough to get me into the MBA programs (yes more than one) that I applied to. And I am not "slow" or lagging behind my peers in my studies. I have heard of cases where people have made the jump on the GMAT from the 400s to the low 600s...so it is doable.
Way back when I was a freshman in college, I had a meterology course with a retired captain from the US Navy. He told us straight out, "A lot of you in here are a whole heck of a lot more intelligent than I am. But I worked hard all my life; incredibly hard. I put 3 times as much effort into getting my Ph.D. than the other people in my program. It wasn't fair; but I had a goal. And that's what I had to do to get it."
Do I think that advanced degrees should be handed out like vending machine treats? No. But I also believe that if you set your standards low, than you've already defeated yourself. We don't know the true capabilities of the OP....let them be the ones to decide what they can or cannot accomplish.

Well, I have been an above-average performer in my under grad level. I am just not able to crack the GMAT,for whatever reason. Assuming that, I would get a good score and enrol in my program of choice, I left my job too. Now, my low GMAT score has messed up a lot of my plans. That's why this post,since I need some opinions.

That's a good post,misshona.
I may not be the brightest of the lot taking the GMAT, but I have my own professional plans and that's what I'm trying to accomplish.
I would retake the test. Use the Manhattan GMAT study guides as they're the best ones out there.
