How far ahead of your application year did you take the GRE/GMAT? I’m 23 now, probably won’t be going for a masters for at least another 2-4 years, but I feel like I actually have some time to study. Does it help your application to have scores from within a year of applying or is it fine as long as they’re still valid?

Take it now while you have time to prepare. Scores are good for 5 years.

I took the GMAT towards the end of my last semester of college. So glad I did because I would have definitely struggled with motivation studying while working full time during the pandemic

I’m studying now, and have heard that it’s ideal to just get it done as early as possible. You don’t want to be trying to complete apps and still studying (on top of working full time). If you have the time now, just go for it, since you probably won’t have the same level of free time again as you do now

Do not wait - do it now. You recently graduated and are used to taking standardized tests - you don’t realize it but those skills get rusty as you get immersed in work. Not a huge deal- but why do that? Also - best to have your scores behind you so you can fully focus on your essays (and have a realistic picture of where you are likely to get in...). Take it 3 times unless you get a 750 or higher right out of the gate.
