Since the number of applicants is increasing by the year, you should book your preferred time slot and test centre 1-2 months in advance. When the season hits, that is, when most applications happen, in November every year, it is ideal to book the slot 3-6 months in advance. Waiting for the last moment to register or book your slot for GMAT is not a good idea. Another way of looking into it would be booking your slot at the time of your test preparation. Suppose, you are preparing for GMAT Exam, you will need some time to prepare for the exam. The ideal duration for preparation would be anywhere between 3-6 months, which may vary given your speed and capacity. As soon as you book the slot, you ensure that the exam is closer and you gear up to rigorous preparation mode. This would keep you motivated as well as save your date as per your schedule. Moreover, you also need to work on your MBA application documents which include a resume,  SOP,  LOR,  admission essays, etc. Hence, you need to consider the application document preparation time as well while considering GMAT slot booking.
