Hi Rohit --

Not quite sure what you mean by "funding" in this question, but in terms of the MBA deadlines, you'll want to go for a Round 1 application, and most of those first deadlines are in October. You don't want to be doing GMAT prep and essays at the same time, and most people require at least a month (actually more like 2+!!) to move through the essays - which means that's what you'll be doing all of September.

So definitely get the GMAT out of the way by August if you can.

Now, this assumes that you'll take the test once and nail it. The wise strategy is to actually take it even earlier, so that you can regroup and try again in case the score isn't what you hoped for. And, you need 30 days between tests... which means we recommend a June-ish first GMAT attempt if possible.

Hope this helps!!

"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."
