  the word today stands for opportunity? You may
  think it is only summer and there is plenty time
  for the first round of MBA admissions, but  the
  fact is that the deadlines for the same appear
  with wicked rapidity and speed. So gear up and
  utilize today in preparing for your 2018 MBA
  application rather than waiting for the clock to
  tick by.

• GRE/ GMAT Be one of the smart ones who start
  their application process 9 12 months before
  they apply. Since your test score is a
  detrimental and crucial factor of your
  application, start with your GMAT or GRE prep. A
  successful GMAT test takes about 100 hours of
  study and practice so start not tomorrow, not
  next month but now!

  as TOEFLS and IELTS can add another couple of
  months to your test prep calendar. Keeping these
  factors in mind, end of spring is the ideal time
  to prepare and take your tests for MBA admission

  to take a retest, in case your scores are way
  lower than your expectations.

  caution. You must get at least 95 of it done now
  and leave scope for any developments for later.

  and cons of all the various options.
