General GMAT Questions and Strategies | Re: 1 year of preparation to GMAT

Hi brukev,

Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so a year should be plenty of time (and you likely would NOT need that much time, if you were studying consistently).

Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can download 2 for free from www.mba.com
