Dear Bhushan,

I would suggest taking the GMAT between now and the end of August. That will give you time to retake the test if you need to prior to second round deadlines as you will want to apply by the second round as an international student.

Good luck,
Lisa

Lisa,

Does it matter when scores are sent to the schools in which I am interested? I'm taking the test this Saturday, and want to take advantage of the free score reports. However, I won't be submitting any applications for months, and I'm wondering if schools prefer to receive GMAT scores at the same time (or at least near the same time) that the rest of the application materials are received.

Thanks for your help!

- Chris

Dear Chris,

It does not matter when the score reports are sent. If you know where you plan to apply, then you should enter those schools at your exam. Schools receive GMAT score reports on a daily basis and simply file them away until an application arrives that matches. Since your score is good for 5 years, schools keep the score reports for that time in the event the person decides to apply.

Good luck on your GMAT!

"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."
