Time of GMAT? [#permalink] New post   25 Jun 2007, 20:37
I have two options at my center for taking the GMAT (in a month).

9:00 am or 4:30 pm. What is everyone's opinion on the better time between the two. I personally felt that 9:00 am is better because you don't have to anxious wait half the day to take the exam. On the other hand, you may feel more tired in the morning. I was edging towards 9:00 am but would like to know everyone's personal choice.

Also, is it necessary to take headphones into the exam?

You should do the morning one.

You will get a nice night's rest and start in the morning.

If you wait until the afternoon, you could get distracted with stuff and it will throw you off.

And headphones, they won't allow. The only thing you can bring into the testing center are the clothes that you wear.

Studies have proven that your brain peaks in the morning. Think about a sprint, you're only accelerating for the first 50 or so yards, the rest of the way, you're just hanging on. Same thing applies to work days.
