Hi

I have a work experience of 1.5 years(till date) which includes 6 months of work-ex in a BPO(Tech-Support) and 1 year in a AON (on the technical side). I am really confused as I am not sure when to give GMAT as I want to get into the 2013 session, keeping in mind I am yet to start with my GMAT preperation. Keeping 2013 in my mind I will be completing 2 years of work-ex in all by end of this year.

So what would be the best time for me to give GMAT if I am targetting to get enrolled for the 2013 session(given I will be starting my preparation in August 2012). And what are the time of admissions that universities generally start enrolling students for their courses.

Please advice....!!

Many Thanks in advance.

If you want to start classes in the fall of 2013, then you should apply this fall. Therefore, you should be planning to take the GMAT within the next few months at the latest.

If your goal is to get enrolled in the class of 2013, you should begin preparing for GMAT as soon as you can. However, the average work experience for most B-schools is 4-5 years, so you may want to consider waiting for one more year and make your profile stronger.

Whether you apply this year or next year, it still makes sense to take your GMAT this year.

I hope it helped.

Take the GMAT ASAP so you'll have time to improve if needed.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
