Hi Stacy,

Is it possible for me to get admission in 2007 if I give my GMAT in the month of Dec '06.

What is the appropriate time for International students to give GMAT?

Waiting for your valuable suggestions & advice.

Thanks.

All of the schools have different programs and deadlines, so my answer actually depends on where you are applying. However, I have written out general thoughts that would apply to the majority of MBA programs below.

Yes, it is possible. But it is not recommended. If you take the GMAT in December 2006, you will have very little time to dedicate yourself exclusively to your applications. If you do not do well on your first attempt at the GMAT, you will have even less time to prepare properly and retake it.

So my first question to you is: if you are already thinking about your applications, why are you planning on a Decmber GMAT? I would recommend trying to schedule the test for July or August.

Hi Stacy,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I failed to plan properly & got into trouble now. Eventhough, I started my GMAT preparation 6 months before, I have no confidence to take the test in Aug. I think I am going to waste one year.

Life became miserable.

Anyhow thank you once again for your kind advice.

Naveen

If you start studying now - you should be able to prepare well for a test in August!

Don't give up and good luck!

"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."
