GMAT - Computer Adaptive Test

In several countries the GMAT is administered only through computer. The computer-based version of the GMAT is called a Computer-Adaptive Test (CAT). In a CAT, a computer program chooses questions based on a candidate’s responses to previous questions. On the other hand, if you are taking the old paper-based test, you will be presented with a range of questions belonging to different levels of difficulty. During a CAT, the computer controls the order in which questions appear.

When is the GMAT held?

The GMAT exam is conducted throughout the year in more than 150 countries around the world.
