GMAT Testing Hits Record Volume

A REMARKABLE AND HISTORICAL YEAR OF GMAT TEST TAKING

“2012 was a remarkable year,” said David Wilson, GMAC president and CEO, in a statement.  “GMAT testing rose from 2011 to 2012 in all world regions. The number of programs receiving GMAT scores rose to an all-time high. And we and our partners were able to scale our systems and delivery to individual test takers seamlessly to accommodate the high demand for the exam in the spring.”

“Today’s global students — who may be a citizen of one country, study in second and choose to work in a third — recognize the significance and the superiority of the GMAT exam in gaining admission to the best management programs around the world,” Wilson added.  “The record volume reflects an increase in graduate-level business and management programs that use GMAT exam to support their admissions decisions, in both MBA and other programs.”

“Business and management skills are needed more than ever in an ever increasing variety of organizations. Business schools have responded by offering a deeper portfolio of programs to meet these diverse needs,” Wilson added. “The number of score reports sent to MBA and other programs were both up, but those to the specialized masters programs grew even faster.”
