GMAT exam dates are available throughout the year, with monthly 20-24 dates for both online and test center-delivered formats. You can book your test slot up to 6 months in advance or as late as 24 hours before the preferred test date. This flexibility gives aspirants the freedom to align their test date with MBA application deadlines. But they also mean demand spikes around key admission rounds, so planning ahead becomes essential.
GMAT sees over 115,000 test-takers each year, and India and the US had almost the same number last year, only 716 apart, showing how widely the exam is taken worldwide. Beyond top business schools like Harvard and INSEAD, companies such as McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and major investment banks use GMAT scores to assess candidates’ analytical skills. Whether aiming for an MBA or a career in consulting, banking, or tech, a strong score is essential to unlock top opportunities in today’s competitive global market.

- Peak Seasons: Test centers tend to get crowded during peak months, particularly from September to November (due to Round 1 MBA application deadlines) and January to March (leading up to Round 2 deadlines).

GMAT exam dates fall on almost all days of the year. It can be taken around the year and there is no specific period when the test can be taken. In fact, in the current times, you can take the GMAT from your home 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. However, GMAT test centers give specific dates in a month and it’s really necessary to book your appointment in advance so that you can get your desired time and date.
GMAC stipulates that you have to wait 16 calendar days before retaking the GMAT. Moreover, you cannot take the GMAT more than 5 times in a year and more than 8 times in a lifetime. Make sure to check your target schools’ application deadlines to allow enough time to send in your final scores. If you want to seriously improve your score and have significant scope for improvement, then retake the GMAT.
