Without discount (with taxes) = 327 EUR
With discount (with taxes) = 245 EUR
Savings = 82 EUR

Nice! That's a good amount.

But I think the 18% tax doesn't apply to the online version?
So, 275 - 245 = 30 EUR in savings?
So, this 25% discount mostly just removes that 18% tax?

Interesting that the text says "Only five days left to save 25% on the GMAT™ exam! Register with the code: GMAT25 by midnight on July 31, 2023"

This seems to has been planned to be released on July 26th I guess?
Or maybe nobody is proofreading/reading anything these days in the marketing departments?

In any case, it is nice to get 2 weeks of notice!
Thank you gmatophobia!

I guess the marketing team realized the error, and it sent an updated email this morning. No change in the promo code or in the timelines. The five-day text was removed; instead some ranting about the GRE was added

hahaha, it's like children write their stuff.

You know that the world is spinning when the top test makers of the world are fighting and bickering and behaving like children.

While booking, I am getting the test fees in USD. How can one pay the fees in INR?

This is really Funny.

PS. At the same time, this is the ONLY discount in the GMAT registration I have ever seen … so, it is nice they are making people aware of it but it is funny nevertheless

👋 Hello, my friends at GMAT Club!

The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) announced a rare discount offer this month, allowing applicants to reduce their GMAT price by 25%.
Beginning on July 19th and running until midnight on July 31st, the promotion means lower fees for candidates who register to take the GMAT exam at a test center on an appointed date before December 31st 2023.

Prospective test takers will be able to input the code GMAT25 during checkout to take a quarter off their GMAT price. The offer is not available for online or GMAT Focus test appointments.

Applicants across the globe are able to use the code, with the amount of savings available varying between regions and countries that currently have different GMAT prices.

👉 Read the full article here.

Visit mba.com to avail this limited-time offer.

Best regards,
Scott
