There is usually plenty of availability of slots to schedule the online exams. However, many test-takers have noticed that test centers often book out months in advance. Once you are about 6 weeks out, and if you want to take the test in person at a test center, start checking availability. It does not pay to book your exam early as the change fees are quite steep so ideally you want to book your exam only once (more on that below).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When choosing your date, it's essential to take into account several factors, such as your business school application deadlines (your score report can take up to 5 business days to be ready, though the secret is that while you need to take the test before the application deadline; the score can be reported at a later date), your admission exam date, the time you need for GMAT preparation, and the possibility of retaking your test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of retakes, keep in mind that you must wait at least 16 days between each GMAT attempt, and you can take the GMAT up to five times within a rolling 12-month period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"chapter2\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>\u00a0Where to register for the GMAT exam?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can register for the GMAT test online on the official <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mba.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow \"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mba.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> website.
