How to use time productively as a senior

Hi all,

I’m fortunate enough to have signed a FT offer for this summer and will be taking a light course load this semester.

I want to use this time productively (while still enjoying my senior year ofc). Should I begin preparing for PE recruiting? Take the GMAT? Prepare technically for FT IB?

Would appreciate any recommendations as to how to use this time wisely, since I know it won’t come back any time soon
