Latest GMAT testing updates
As governments continue to enforce lockdowns and social distancing measures to counter the coronavirus pandemic, the epicenter of the crisis has shifted away from Asia, through Europe, and now to South America.
Consequently, the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), owner and administrator of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), has closed test centers and suspended test taking in locations around the world.
In much of Latin America, testing is now suspended through June. In Europe however, testing has resumed with test centers reopening in much of France, Germany, Portugal, and Spain. In the US, testing is suspended in most test centers.
