GMAT exam preparation typically takes about 3-6 months. If you have studied well during this duration, given sufficient number of mock tests, and revised your notes, you need not study just before the exam at the GMAT test centre. It is important for you to focus on the GMAT exam. Rather than shuffling through your notes at the last moment, it is advisable that you take your time to calm your nerves down. For the next few hours, your focus must be to ace the exam. Have faith that whatever you have studies so far was sufficient for you to score well on the GMAT.

Students must be aware of what all they can bring and what all is not allowed at a GMAT test centre.

10 days is too short a time to prepare for the GMAT test. One needs to develop quant and verbal skills along with analytical skills to score a decent GMAT score and one needs to prepare for at least 3-4 months to acquire these skills.

If a candidate has booked a slot at the test center it cannot be rescheduled to a different mode for that attempt. Candidates need to book the GMAT online exam again to attempt the test online. When it comes to GMAT slot booking, we advise that candidates show caution. Before you decide your GMAT exam date, make sure to go through the different study abroad intakes, MBA or MIM admission deadlines, your current GMAT preparation level, time required to reach your desired GMAT score, time required to prepare your admission documents (SOP, LORs, Admission Essays, etc.), etc.

Those who have already booked the GMAT exam and have got the approval for GMAT testing accommodations need not apply for it again for their subsequent GMAT exams as the approval for accommodations is typically valid for two years. In case if your GMAT testing accommodation approval has expired, you need to visit the Testing Accommodation pages and apply for the accommodations. You must complete the form and mention that you had received an approval earlier. It is advised that the students attach their original decision letter as a part of their fresh request.

Before understanding the timeline, let us understand what all factors are important for your MIM or MBA admissions. These factors include your undergraduate percentage or GPA, GMAT score, statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, admission essays, updated resume, work experience (if applicable), and performance on the interview. It is advised that you begin your research for the MBA or MIM College at least 10-12 months before the application deadline.
