The above user brings up an excellent point. The test is changing in June 2012 to get rid of one of the AWA's and add in a new section called integrated reasoning (IR). It is the thought of many that you should really try to take the test before this date. I would recommend that you take one test in late April to give yourself 1 more chance in late May before the new test. But just remember these spots to take the GMAT may fill up quick! In fact, they may already be filling up. Read these two posts to get a better idea and see what is best for you.

If you like integrated reasoning, and are familiar with excel spreadsheets, emailing, and just generally the business world, it might be another opportunity for you to get a good separate IR score with little to no studying. If you are looking for the highest score out of 800 though, I would recommend getting it done before the test changes so you don't have to spend ANY time studying for IR.

Let me know if you should have any questions

Thanks guys for the valuable input. I will keep you guys posted and I do need to find my baseline on the diagnostic test. For some reason I have been postponing it thinking that I need more time to prepare for it such as knowing the math formulas etc before taking the diagnostic test.
