How much does the GMAT cost?
The GMAT costs $275 at a test center and $300 online in the US, and the fee includes sending your scores to up to five programs. Prices differ by country, so check mba.com for yours. Rescheduling costs $55 to $180 depending on how close the date is, and each extra score report costs $35.
In more detail
The price depends on where you sit the exam and whether you test at a center or online, and local taxes can be added. The US figures above are the current ones. The mba.com payment page shows the exact price for your country when you pick it from the list, so check it before you book.
Your fee covers up to five programs if you choose them within 48 hours of getting your official score report. After that window each extra score report costs $35, so list your schools before you test if you can.
Rescheduling gets more expensive as the date gets closer. In the US it costs $55 at a test center or $60 online more than 60 days out, $110 or $120 from 15 to 60 days out, and $165 or $180 inside 14 days. You cannot reschedule inside 24 hours, and changing an appointment by phone adds a $10 service fee. Cancelling returns part of the fee: $110 or $120 more than 60 days out, $80 or $90 from 15 to 60 days, $55 or $60 inside 14 days.
