I have been revising for the GMAT for a bit over two months and I recently scored a 720 (Q48, V41) on Gmat Prep 1 exam. My target score would be something over 710. I would like to apply for master's programs in October so I'm not in a hurry for time and would like to sit the GMAT only when I feel fully prepared.
Does anyone know how long before wanting to sit the exam should I schedule the date. Ideally, I would want to be able to schedule my exam without too much anticipation just in case I set a date and then don't feel ready when the time comes. It would be super helpful to know the average waiting times and so on. Does anyone know?

Hi jppresa,
Great work on your practice exam! I think it's a great sign that you scored 10 points above your score goal. Regarding when you should take the GMAT, if you score above 710 on your next two official practice exams, I think you will be ready to go. When do you plan to take those?

Hi jppresa,
A 720 is a fantastic overall Score for a practice CAT/mock - and assuming that you took this CAT in a realistic fashion that matches-up with how you will take the Official GMAT, then you likely have really strong overall critical-thinking skills. Depending on the other details of your studies so far, you might reasonably plan to take the Official GMAT sometime soon.
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) Are you planning to take the At-home GMAT or are you planning to take your GMAT at a Test Facility?
