QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
When is the GMAT given?
The GMAT is given year round during normal business hours. There is often one week during each month in which the test is not offered.
How important is the GMAT and how is it used?
It is crucial! Although business schools may consider other factors, the vast majority of admission decisions are based on only two criteria: your GMAT score and your GPA.
How many times should I take the GMAT?
Most people are better off preparing thoroughly for the GMAT, taking it one time and getting their top score. You can take the test as often as you like, but many business schools will average your scores. You should call the schools to which you are applying to find out their policy. Then plan your strategy accordingly.
Can I cancel my score?
Yes. When you finish the test, the computer will offer the option of canceling the test or accepting it. If you cancel the test, neither you nor any school will see your score. If you accept the test, the computer will display your score and it will be available to all schools.
Where can I get the registration forms?
Most colleges and universities have the forms. You can also get them directly from the Graduate Management Admission Council by writing to:

Testimonials:
“Far and away the best book…After doing all drills in Nova, the commonly considered difficult practice questions in Kaplan were almost a joke. I would recommend to anyone this book.”
“I got a 690 on the GMAT using only this book, and studying sporadically for a few weeks leading up to the test.”
“I am very happy to say that at the GMAT exam, for which I studied with this book, I received 710 points.”
“I am a Professor of English, and… I make it my business to find books and use them to help students get into graduate school. I have found the Nova book complete in every aspect… Without unnecessary rhetoric, the text is exact, with comprehensive yet concise answers, in the math and verbal sections. This is definitely a three year crash course in a several month program.”
