When should I be taking GMAT at the latest if my deadline for unofficial report is January 25 and for official one is February 1. The thing is that I still need a lot of practicing. Or is it faster to take GRE?
I know this question has been asked before, but maybe the process has become quicker.

If rest of your application is ready you can take the GMAT say even 20 days before deadline, that should be enough time for your official scores to reach the designated colleges.
Also a few colleges allow that the official score reach them shortly after deadline day so you don't miss out, but you will need to mail the college to get a confirmation on this.
GRE or GMAT ? only you can judge which you are better at. But note that not all Bshools accept GRE.

Hi Dalint,
There are a number of factors to consider when it comes to your applications, but you seem to be focused on the "speed" of the process and that could be a problematic way of looking at all of this.
The application process to get into most Business Schools is remarkably competitive, so "rushing" to make a deadline is probably NOT going to allow you to put together the strongest application possible. Since the deadlines you listed are just over a month away, you'd have to study for (and take) the GMAT, score at an acceptable level and work on applications all at the same time. This is in addition to everything else that you might have going on (work, family, holidays, etc.). You have to remember the REAL goal - to get into your first choice Business School. Every "step" in this process should be done to forward THAT goal. Right now, your goal is to meet a deadline.
You might want to consider pushing your applications back a Round so that you'll have more time to work on everything. If might be that you would score higher on the GRE, but with this current timeline, it doesn't sound like you have enough time to figure that out. Most Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) on their studies to hit their respective "peak" scores. If you're looking to improve your chances at performing at a high level on Test Day, you're likely going to need more time than you've currently allotted.
