GMAT exam dates-

The GMAT exam, available around the world throughout the year

The GMAT does not have specific test dates.

GMAT can be taken at any time that you are ready and you are able to reserve a spot at a nearby testing center.

The advice of the test makers is to schedule your GMAT for a date that is “at least 21 days prior to your application deadline.”

The registration fee is $250.

If you reschedule, you can do so, but it’s not free. If you reschedule more than 7 days in advance, you will be charged a $50 fee.

If you reschedule within a week, the fee is $250 – and that’s the test fee to take the test, so you are essentially throwing away your initial registration fee.

You may retake the GMAT exam once every 31 calendar days, but no more than five times in a rolling 12-month period.

The GMAT exam consists of four sections: an analytical writing assessment, an integrated reasoning section, a quantitative section, and a verbal section.
