Hi all,
I'm having trouble deciding when I should take the GMATs. I want to be able to apply to Round 1 for Harvard which is Sept 9,2014 but am not sure if I am ready to just take it once. My scores from prep (in that order) are as followed:
Kaplan 590
MGMAT 630
Veritas Prep 710
I am aiming for a 700 score. Would it be beneficial for me to take it July 28th or wait until mid August? The was based on a recommendation to apply in Round 1. The benefit is that I would be able to take it again before the Round 1 application deadlines for other colleges if I don't get my 700 for Harvard. Most of the other deadlines for Round 1 are in October.
The other concern is the time slot. The only time slot available for July 28th was 2pm and I'm get up around 6am every morning so it might not be ideal. Does time really matter that much? Could I just take mock test during that time in the future to accommodate the schedule? Thank you.

Hi gmat17325,
Ideally, you should take the exam just a little bit earlier --- or if you get in the habit of waking up a little later if possible. If there is a huge gap in time, you could spend a big part of the day getting nervous about the test and then it gets you psyched out.
Ideally, you should really aim to take the test once -- do it right the first time if possible. Saves you time and effort. Don't study for the test and do your essays at the same time. Focus on one then do the other.
If you spend 2-3 months before the application deadline on the GMAT and the last month on your essays, you should be in good shape.

I hear all these horror stories of people scoring 700s on their practice test and end up scoring 500s during their real one. I think it's because they got super nervous and had to retake. Sadly I'm like Murphy's Law, if it can go wrong it will go wrong with me. I'm afraid I won't be able to perform under the situation of only taking it once.
