Study GMAT or work on excel skills

Incoming analyst here. Hit the desk August but starting training in July which I know will be like 8am-4pm for like a month. Do I try and study for the GMAT right now (not sure if i should take it now or in a couple years) or should I try working on my excel/PPT skills?
