Checking out some posted debriefs in the Share GMAT Experience subforum could help give a sense how long a prep journey can take. If you're new to the GMAT, consider taking one of the free official-mocks from the MBA website after getting a bit familiar with the material. It could help give an idea where you currently stand including on the three sections.

What is your application and test-taking timeline?

Hey  Auroraaaa 
I would suggest you take a baseline test first and then decide whether you will be able to push it up from there to your target schools’ average score in the given time. 
If you share your baseline score here , i’m sure there will be many experts who will be able to advice you better.

That really depends on your current score, target score, and application timeline. If you're currently at a 500 and aiming for 700+ to apply in Round 1, it might not be enough time. But for someone at a 660, it could definitely be achievable.

I mean it's never too late, but are you asking because of application deadlines?

Hi, thanks. I postpone the exam, as the test price is high and I don't think I've prepared well. Maybe I should practice more.

Thank you so much.

Auroraaaa · Answer

Thank you very much for your suggestions. It will be my first time to take the GMAT exam. So, I'm nervouse and want to make adequate preparations before taking the exam.

Auroraaaa · Answer

Thank you. I'm aiming for 700+. But it will be my first time to take the GMAT exam and the exam fees is expensive, so I plan to make a full preparation before exam. However, mental state during the exam can also affect performance. Nervous, hahaha.

Auroraaaa · Answer

Thank you. Yes. After discussing with my families, I postponed the application and give myself more time for preparation.
