Hi AjayBairagi,

Many Business Schools expect Applicants to have at least a few years of quality Work Experience. There are some exceptions of course, but you should make sure that the Programs that YOU are interested in would be willing to consider an Applicant with little-to-no Work Experience before you put any plans in motion to apply to School this year. GMAT Scores are 'valid' for 5 years though, so you could study for - and lock in - a competitive GMAT Score now and then apply to Business School several years in the future.

Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can take 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

You can take the GMAT now and apply later, once you have a few years of work experience. Each GMAT score is valid for 5 years, and there is no penalty for having "banked" your GMAT score.
