    Preparing for the GMAT test takes time and sincere efforts. You can prepare for the exam in six to eight months or it can be 3-4 months depending on your practice and ability. You need to give consistent efforts to get a good GMAT score. Make sure that you understand the GMAT pattern and syllabus before you purchase any study material. You must start with the GMAT official study material and then move on the other standard resources such as the Manhattan Prep guides. You must also appear for GMAT mock tests every week to gauge your progress.

If your GMAT score is higher than the average for the programs you are applying to, it may be advantageous to include it on your MBA resume. A strong GMAT score might support your application by showcasing your aptitude for analysis and math. If your score is not very high, it can be preferable to highlight other aspects of your résumé, including leadership roles, academic successes, or professional accomplishments. Always keep in mind the composition of your resume as a whole and the most important components of your profile to emphasize.
