The best way to prep for the GMAT in Baton Rouge is to come up with a GMAT study plan.

At Kaplan, we've assembled a list of the top business schools in the Baton Rouge area and the best options for GMAT prep in Baton Rouge.

First, though, you'll want to schedule your GMAT at a convenient testing center. The GMAT is a computer-based test offered year-round. If you can’t find a suitable testing center in Baton Rouge, check out the list we've provided of additional GMAT test centers in Louisiana.

GMAT test-takers at schools like Louisiana State University often spend as much as nine months studying, while other future business students take the exam with no preparation! An average test-taker starts studying about three months before the exam. And though GMAT prep books and flashcards are still the most common study method, many competitive test-takers take live prep courses and use a variety of apps to supplement their studies.
