Hey everyone!

I'm applying for schools this upcoming July, and I haven't taken the GRE yet. I'm stuck on whether I should take the GRE in June or in July.

I began studying a few days ago, and I'll be taking a summer class from June 9-July 18th and will be working sometime soon. I'd like more time to study, so the end of July would be nice, but I also would like time to retake it if I need to. Also, I'd like to apply as early as possible, especially because my GPA isn't incredibly competitive, so taking it in June may be a better option.

Thanks for your input!
 
Well either would be fine, depends on how well prepared you feel by the time June/July rolls around. You might want to decide soon however since testing sites can fill up fairly quickly, they did by me (NY).
 
Thanks! I ended up going with the end of June.
