Question

After paying the exam fee for the GMAT, how many attempts can I take, and do I have to pay for each additional attempt?

pintukr · Answer

Every attempt costs the same. One has to pay for all attempts separately.

All the Best.

GMAT exam is like buying a ticket for an airplane. You can buy one ticket for one flight or you can buy multiple tickets but one ticket gets you one flight or one exam 😇

Keep in mind that there is a 16 day waiting period between exams so if you take one, you have to wait 16 days before you can take a second one. This is to avoid people getting the same questions on their exams

Hi rohanrashinkar2,

To answer the first part of your question, you can take the GMAT up to 5 times in a rolling 12-month period (minimum 16-day gap between attempts).

Each test-centre appointment costs ~$325 (275 + 49.5 tax @18%). You could request your target schools to give you a GMAT coupon, but that's a little iffy.

Hey,  AjiteshArun   bb  
What is the required gap between GMAT Focus Edition attempts? Do weekends and holidays count in the 16-day waiting period? For example, if someone takes the test on July 3, when would they be eligible to retake it?

bb · Answer

16 days apart, so it would be 19th. The system will automatically disable you from being able to schedule it sooner.

bb · Answer

You can actually go into the mba.com scheduling system and try to schedule a second exam (it allows to schedule 2) and you will see that there are no slots/availability until the 19th.
