Taking GMAT as rising senior

Hello, I'm a rising senior from the West coast interested in consulting, applying for FT recruiting in the fall. Does anyone have suggestions on how to study for the GMAT over the summer/if it's a good idea?

Get it out of the way. Plan to study for a couple months and to take the thing twice. I recommend TTP for Quant, Powerscore for CR and SC, OG material to supplement everything, and the official exams to gauge progress. Should be plenty to get you to a 690+ and you can fine tune from there. Good luck!
