5 weeks to study for the GMAT enough?

I want to apply for my MBA this year (ideally round1) and want to give myself enough margin to retake the exam if necessary before apps are due. Assuming I start now, any advice in terms of setting a schedule? Is 5 weeks of intense studying (though with a full time job) enough typically?
