In case a GMAT test centre is available, the test centre option will appear during registration. Applicants must keep in mind that they will have to first decide their test centre availability based on their GMAT exam date. Once the two match, the applicant can complete the registration. The GMAT test center availability may differ based on the date of exam chosen by the applicant, thus, there may be a seat available or there may not be an availability also. Thus, applicants should check all options before making a decision. 

The best way to locate a GMAT exam center nearby is to log on to the official website and in the process of registration, see the options available. There is an exhaustive list of test centres which will appear for the applicants sorted based on the nearest options first, followed by those who are far away from the applicant's current location. Also, the applicant can enquire about the availability of dates on the nearest chosen test centre officially or check on the official website. 

There is an option to choose up to three GMAT Focus exam centres in one go while registering for the exam. But this is for the purpose of comparing the test exam centres based on the availability of dates for the GMAT Focus exam. Once the test centre and GMAT Focus exam dates match, applicants can choose their final GMAT Focus exam centre and appear for their exam. 

GMAT exam preparation typically takes about 3-6 months. If you have studied well during this duration, given sufficient number of mock tests, and revised your notes, you need not study just before the exam at the GMAT test centre. It is important for you to focus on the GMAT exam. Rather than shuffling through your notes at the last moment, it is advisable that you take your time to calm your nerves down. For the next few hours, your focus must be to ace the exam. Have faith that whatever you have studies so far was sufficient for you to score well on the GMAT.

Students must be aware of what all they can bring and what all is not allowed at a GMAT test centre. Students are not allowed to bring food, drink, and candy with them (unless these have been approved in the GMAT testing accommodation). In addition to these, students cannot bring firearms, knives, or any other weapon-like object. Students are allowed to bring a valid identity document, an appointment confirmation letter or email (received from Pearson VUE), eyeglasses, light sweater or light non-outerwear jacket, and any other comfort item (only if they have been approved in the GMAT testing accommodation).

If a candidate has booked a slot at the test center it cannot be rescheduled to a different mode for that attempt. Candidates need to book the GMAT online exam again to attempt the test online. When it comes to GMAT slot booking, we advise that candidates show caution. Before you decide your GMAT exam date, make sure to go through the different study abroad intakes, MBA or MIM admission deadlines, your current GMAT preparation level, time required to reach your desired GMAT score, time required to prepare your admission documents (SOP, LORs, Admission Essays, etc.), etc.
