Number of GMAT test takers

GMAT was taken 265613 times in the testing year 2009*. “Total GMAT volume is up, but by breaking down the figures by country, by world region, by gender, by intended degree, and by age, we see a very complex picture emerge,” says a senior official from GMAC.

Some highlights from the GMAC report

• The number of GMAT test takers have been rising for the past five years
• The number of tests takers under 24 continues to rise rapidly
• The percentage growth of number of tests takers has increased the greatest in central/south asia followed by Australia/Pasific islands, Europe and finally Canada.
