GMAT Online Registration Fees

To take GMAT online, the candidates are charged USD 300. There was an application fee for GMAT rescheduling and cancellation previously. However, the conducting authority of GMAT had decided on a fee waiver due to the current Covid-19 situation. Within the GMAT online registration charges, the charges for GMAT score sending are included. Previously, the candidates are allowed to send 5 destinations for free. It also meant the charge of sending the score to these 5 destinations was included in the GMAT registration fees. To send the score to more than these 5 destinations, the candidates were charged USD 28. Right now, GMAC has offered the facility of free score sending to an unlimited number of destinations, that too without any charge. After making the payment, an auto-generated receipt will be mailed to the inserted mail ID of the candidate. On the test day, this document may be required for verification purposes. Online GMAT is a proctored exam and the candidates will take this version from their comfort zones. As the GMAT online is equally accepted as the GMAT test-center version, GMAC has announced the system requirements, failing which the exam can be canceled too.

In case you are confused between GMAT online or GMAT test-center, we suggest you analyze whether you can meet the technical specifications or not. GMAT online registration is easy and it is undoubtedly a great approach, but not all can meet its requirements. So, make a wise decision.
