You should aim to take the GMAT by mid-2026 if you’re targeting the September 2027 intake in Germany. This timeline gives you enough time for preparation, possible retakes, and ensures your scores are ready before typical application deadlines (late 2026 to early 2027).

Waiting until September 2026 or later may make it harder to meet deadlines and complete your application smoothly.
