Wondering when to schedule the GMAT? Now! Now is always better than later when it comes to test prep.
With Ramadan approaching, many students are saying they will wait until after Eid to start preparing and take the GMAT. Here are some reasons you should start your preparation now and get to work on your applications:
1. You’ve got time now.
Many people have a reduced schedule during Ramadan, so you have plenty of time to study. Check out our Ramadan Study Plan, which can help raise your score by at least 50 points by studying only an hour a day.
2. It will be easier to get the appointment you want.
GMAT test slots are filling fast and will be more competitive later. As of July 15th, most slots at the two official test centers in Dubai (The Exam Preparation & Testing House and Vinsys) were full until the 1st week of September. Schedule your GMAT even before you start studying to make sure you get a slot!
3. You can apply in Round 1.
Round 1 is the best time to apply to increase your chances of being accepted. Round 1 deadlines start in October so if you wait until after Eid to start preparing you’ll have less than 3 weeks to prepare for and take the GMAT, get your recommendations, polish your CV, and write your essays!
Be sure to check the GMAT test dates and locations so you can plan the pace of your preparation.
