The GMAT Mobile Test Center – a unique testing center on wheels operated by the Graduate Management Admissions Council, which owns the GMAT – will begin its fifth transcontinental tour later this month, visiting schools in remote areas as part of an effort to reach students who may have a hard time getting to established testing sites.
The tour will depart from Humphreys College in Stockton, California, on October 21, 2009, and conclude at Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida, on May 7, 2010. In the course of the eight-month tour, the GMAT Mobile Test Center will bring the GMAT exam to 32 campuses across 14 states, including several historically black colleges and Hispanic-serving institutions.
GMAC launched the Mobile Test Center in 2006. The customized bus includes six high-tech GMAT testing stations and satellite communications links that allow GMAC to employ the same sophisticated test-security and ID-verification systems used at its permanent GMAT test centers around the globe. Pearson VUE, which provides test administration services for the GMAT worldwide, also manages the Mobile Test Unit for GMAC.
Prospective business school applicants interested in taking the GMAT as part of the Mobile Test Center’s upcoming tour may make an appointment by visiting www.mba.com/gmatbus or calling 1-800-717-GMAT. You do not need an affiliation with one of the educational institutions hosting the test center in order to make an appointment.
