GMAT Eligibility
GMAT Eligibility Criteria
| Requirement | Officially stated rule |
|---|---|
| Minimum age | Candidates must be at least 18 years old to schedule and take the GMAT exam. |
| Age 13–17 | Candidates in this age range may take the exam at a test center if written proof of parent or guardian consent is provided before scheduling. |
| Educational qualification | The GMAC exam-policy page reviewed does not state a general degree requirement. Admission eligibility is determined by the graduate business or management program to which the score is submitted. |
| Attempts | Up to 5 attempts across online and test-center deliveries in a rolling 12-month period, with no lifetime attempt limit stated on the current policy page. |
| Retake interval | At least 16 days must pass between completed GMAT appointments. |
Candidates should distinguish the right to take the GMAT from eligibility for admission to a particular MBA or business master's program. Schools may impose their own academic, work-experience, language, application or other requirements.
