Thoughts on Taking GMAT 2nd Semester Senior Year

Hi all, I'm a senior in college and will be going into IB full-time this upcoming summer. My course schedule will be pretty light next semester so I figured it may be worthwhile to study for the GMAT because some schools have deferred MBA admissions. I'm not dead set on going to business school but figured it can't hurt to have it in the back of my pocket. Any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated.
