taken by prospective business school students around the world in testing year 2018 (TY2018), which ran from July 1, 2017

through June 30, 2018. These examinees sent a total of 493,101 score reports to graduate-level management programs across

About the GMAT Exam

The GMAT exam consists of four sections: Verbal, Quantitative, Analytical Writing, and Integrated Reasoning. GMAT Total

Scores, as presented in this report, are calculated based on performance on the Verbal and Quantitative sections of the exam.

Total Scores are reported in increments of 10, on a scale ranging from 200 to 800. Results are valid for a five-year period

from test sitting.

Notes About the Data

GMAT Score Cancel Policy

In late June 2014, GMAC instituted a policy offering test takers the ability to preview their GMAT section scores before

deciding to accept or cancel the exam results. No score reports are distributed to schools when exam results are canceled.

Candidates may reinstate their scores at a later date if they choose, however.

Although the ability to cancel exam results is not new, candidates in the past were unable to see their section scores before

making the cancel decision. The proportion of exams canceled following the policy change increased from around one percent

a year to more than 20 percent. Ultimately, the majority of test takers who cancel their exam results go on to retake the

GMAT and generate reportable scores.

GMAC publishes annual GMAT trends to monitor global interest and mobility in high-quality graduate management

education worldwide. Because candidates who cancel their score continue to represent recruitment opportunities for business

programs around the world, GMAC will now include canceled exam volume in its candidate reports. This reporting change

allows comparisons to be made more accurately across time for the number of exams taken by any given student group. Care

should be taken when comparing score—sending figures from TY 2015 onward with previous years, however, as fewer score

reports overall are now being sent as candidates’ score cancel behavior has changed.

Gender Classifications

Beginning in testing year 2016, individuals who registered to take the GMAT exam had the option of checking a gender

category called “Other” when entering their background information and setting up an account on mba.com. These exams are

reflected in both the total exam and total score-sending counts in the region and country tables but are not broken out in

separate gender categories within the tables.

GMAT Program Code Classifications

Program data in this report are based on a business school’s current GMAT code classifications for its respective programs. In

any given GMAT testing year, school representatives have the opportunity to modify their program classifications if they

differ from original classifications established at the time of GMAT program code assignment. As a result, historic GMAT

score-sending data may change based on such program classification changes.

Testing Year Data Preparation Process Updated in TY 2018

In TY 2018, GMAC implemented a new process for preparing annual testing year data files due to structural changes in the

data collected from GMAT exam registration. To standardize historic data into this new structure, testing year data was

regenerated from TY 2008 through TY 2018 in the new format.

GMAT exam data now includes exams with a status of either score-reportable or score-cancelled for all testing years starting

in TY 2008 through the current reporting year. The new GMAT score-sending data is indexed by candidates' score report

request date, meaning that a testing year in the dataset represents all GMAT score reports that were requested to be sent to

global business school programs within that testing year, regardless of when candidates sat for the GMAT exam associated

with those scores.

Due to the changes in data preparation, exam and score-sending volumes in GMAT reports published after 2018 will be

inconsistent with historic reports. For details please contact David Svancer at [email protected] or the GMAC Research

Department at [email protected].
