GMAT Eligibility and Fees

Anyone and everyone is eligible for taking the GMAT - there are no restrictions based on age or qualifications. The test scores are valid for five years, i.e., most universities accept scores up to five years old. But it is always better if your scores are recent (not older than 2 years).

The fee to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is US$250 worldwide. You will incur taxes when you schedule an exam in certain countries.

Preferred Forms of Payment

• By credit card
    * Credit card (Visa®, MasterCard®, American Express®, or JCB®)
    * Debit card (Visa® or MasterCard® only)
• By cashier’s check (mailed forms only)
• By money order (mailed forms only)
• Personal check (mailed forms only)

Payments by check must be payable in U.S. dollars and drawn on banks located in the United States.

All payments must be made in full, include the correct numeric and written fee amount, have the appropriate signature(s), and be made payable to Pearson VUE-GMAT.

Postdated checks will not be accepted. The bank name and its location should be preprinted on the face of the check. Taxes must be included where applicable and the appointment date must be at least 10 calendar days after the check is received to allow time for the check to clear. Please keep in mind that it can take up to eight (8) weeks for letters to reach the U.S. from some countries.

By sending a personal check, you are authorizing Pearson VUE, at its discretion, to use the information on your check to make an electronic debit from your account for the amount of your check; no additional amount will be withdrawn at that time. You are also authorizing Pearson VUE to make an electronic debit from your account of an additional service fee of US$20 in the event your check is returned.

If payment is not submitted in U.S. dollars, or otherwise does not comply with the above requirements or other standard banking practices, your registration or request for service will not be processed and your payment will be rejected and/or returned.
