I am thinking about going for MBA during the next summer. I am fairly good with Quant and working on Verbal. I plan to go to a middle range university of USA. Can anybody tell me what is the best time to take the exam? Is it too late already as most of the colleges' round one deadline has ended, or will end by the end of Sep'16. I am thinking about taking the test on 15-20 Nov. Will it be possible for me to get into a college if I take an exam at that time? Also, I totally rely on scholarships hence will I get enough time if I take the test on the dates I have mentioned.
Thanks already.

Hi shubhamg266,
Do you know which Schools you plan to apply to? I ask because once you have that list of Schools, you can research their individual application deadlines, scholarship opportunities, etc. That information will help you to plan out your overall schedule and give you an idea of the type of GMAT score you'll need to be considered a competitive applicant. Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so making sure that you've given yourself enough time to properly study is a must. Since GMAT scores are valid for 5 years, you could study now (and 'lock up' a strong score), then apply later on when you'll have the best chance to get into your first-choice School. Depending on how much studying you've done so far, a November Test Date may or may not be too soon for you to take the Official GMAT.
1) What study materials do you currently own?
2) What is your overall score goal?

HI shubhamg266,
To provide the best possible advice, it would be helpful to learn some more about your GMAT experience and MBA goals. I have a few questions:
1) What is your GMAT score goal?
2) Do you have a list of schools to which you plan to apply? Have you researched the applications deadlines for each school?
3) Describe your study routine. For how many hours a day have you been studying and for how many total months? What resources have you been using for your prep?
4) Have you taken any official MBA.com practice exams? If so, can you provide us with the dates and score breakdowns from those exams? When you took the practice tests, did you take them under realistic conditions (e.g. in a quiet environment, no extended breaks)? Did you complete the entire CAT, including the IR and Essay sections?
Once we have some more information, about your situation, we can provide some advice on when you should plan to take the GMAT.
