­Hi, when can I take my GMAT if I want to apply for ISB Class of 2025-26 if I am targeting R1 in Sep 2024? Asking as I am not able to hit my target score. 
­pratibhasharma i hope this finds you well. Take your GMAT in time for the first round, which will be in September. I do not know how strong your profile is, but judging by the trends, R2 and R3 are particularly difficult if you miss R1. Once you reach your target score on the mock exams, I would suggest scheduling a test as soon as possible. You can also continue to work on the application in parallel if you are only a few months away from the deadline. Spread out the tasks instead of putting everything off until the last few days.
