Need an urgent answer [#permalink] New post   12 Apr 2011, 09:48
Hi guys, I'm really sorry if the question below has been already discussed but I'm a bit stressed due to the pressure of time and another factors.
Please tell me what is the minimum time frame between the registration for the test and the test itself? I mean that I don't have much time and need to take the GMAT as soon as possible. What is the nearest possible G-day?
Thanks in advance.

Hi infinite,

It's hard to answer that question. Although there is an absolute minimum time-frame for registration, the actual amount of time you need can be significantly longer. Testing centers only have so many time-slots and computers, so if you wait for the 'official' deadline to sign up, there is a good chance you will simply fail to find an available date because they've all been filled!

Your best bet is to head to www.mba.com, now, and sign up for the soonest available test.

Hope this helps!

It all depends on open slots at the test center. Could be a month, could be a day.

Keep checking and look for slots. Slots open up as people cancel/reschedule appointments.

Sometimes it also depends on how far you are willing to travel, my friend decided to give her test at a center about 3 hrs drive from her place, because it was in a comparatively small city and she got the date 1 week after she booked, most bay area centers are crazy though, the slots you want get booked 6 months in advance.

While your question has already been answered above in this thread, I would like to stress the importance of allowing yourself enough time to successfully book the date that you want. I was a bit lazy about this and attempted to register two weeks ahead (around mid-January). Unfortunately, the test center's next available date wasn't until early February! This caused me to miss the deadlines for two schools.
