Hi

I think this post will be usefull to all people

I am planning to apply for US,Canadian,Australian,Singapore,Indian bschools (all or 1 or2)

I am completely new to admissions and i have yet to take my gmat

1)Please tell me when would be the best time to give gmat so that i dont compromise on my admissions ,in that i make my admissions in first round

I know admissions is long drawn process,but i was thinking that since all schools dont have the same deadline ,i can prepare for one school and the school that has deadlines late in this year i will start the last

I am asking this as an International student.
It would be very usefull if the replies are based on applying for round one this year

If i have asked a very general question,please try to answer to the best .

Thanks
Krishna

Try to knock out the GMAT as soon as possible, but try to be as prepared as possible. Having to deal with the GMAT while putting together solid applications can be a pain. You have about 2 months to get the GMAT out of the way before you have to start with your first round 1 applications. I'd start studying right now, no reason to procrastinate

"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."
