You’ll Be Surprised at How Quickly Your Test Day Arrives

After you’ve decided to sit for the GMAT exam plan to register early enough to prepare for the exam and  for your scores to be available in time to meet your schools’ application deadlines. It may be helpful to establish a timeline based on the application deadlines for your schools and work backward.

• Block out a six-month timeline to prepare for the GMAT exam, longer if you’ve been out in the work world for a while and may need to hone old test-taking skills. Undergraduate students ideally should prepare six months ahead of their scheduled testing date and take the exam 1-to-2 years prior to graduation.

• Master the topics on the exam by practicing sample questions and reviewing one section at a time.
