I took my first gmat exam at 8 am, and I honestly do not think that a morning exam is best for me. While surfing the through the mba.com site, I saw that the GMAT is offered at several different times throughout the test day, 8 am, 1pm and 4pm. Should I take my practice exams at 1 pm and 4pm (different days) to see which time works best for me?
Hi Nadia222,
The general advice is that most people do their best word "early in the week and early in the day." Depending on the schedule that you maintain, your "perfect" day/time may vary. For people who work Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm, they would probably perform best on a Monday morning. However, 8am might be too early, so the opportunity to sleep in a bit and not have to deal with morning traffic makes a noon/1pm test a bit more appealing. My suspicion would be that a 4pm Test start would be too late in the day and that you'd find your performance lagging as the evening went on.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
