GMAT

I am a second year investment banking analyst, and I know next to nothing about the business school application process, and I'm not even sure if I want to go to business school at all.

However, I am considering taking the GMAT, so that if I get a good score, I can just keep that in my back pocket in case I actually do want to pursue business school.

What is the best way to study for this? Anyone recommend any books or courses? Assume my timeline to take the test is about a year from now.
