Unlike many other admissions tests, GMAT ™ testing is given year-round in most locations around the world. That means you have a lot of flexibility to decide when you want to take the test, but you should be careful to schedule your test early enough to ensure that your scores are available by your application deadlines. You can register to take the GMAT now.
