GMAT® Exam Now Offered at Camp Victory in Baghdad

Aspiring MBAs working for the US military in Iraq can now take the Graduate Management Admission Test on a military base in Baghdad. The GMAT exam is available at Baghdad's Camp Victory, making it possible for military personnel in Iraq to prepare for careers in business while deployed.

The Camp Victory test center was established after a member of the US Army serving in Iraq contacted GMAC® and inquired about taking the exam where he was posted. He needed to take the GMAT exam before leaving Iraq to meet business school application deadlines for 2009 admission, and restrictions prevented him from traveling. GMAC worked with Pearson VUE, the company responsible for the delivery and administration of the GMAT exam worldwide, and military personnel in Iraq, to establish the test center at Camp Victory.

“Military personnel serving in Iraq obviously face numerous hurdles in doing many of the things that we take for granted,” said Melvin T. Stith, dean of Syracuse University's Whitman School of Management, a leader in making graduate business education available to military veterans. “The new GMAT test center at Camp Victory makes it possible for soldiers in Iraq to take the exam and continue with plans to advance their careers.”

The GMAT exam is available at the Camp Victory test center on Mondays and Fridays. Those interested in taking the exam at the center must possess a US Department of Defense-issued ID and may register online at www.mba.com.
