GMAT® Trends: Tests Taken by Age

GMAT® Tests Taken by Age

• Over the past three years, there has been an increase in the number of tests taken by examinees age 30 and younger, particularly among those younger than 24.

• From 1998-99 to 2007-08, the trend shows 158% growth among the 24-or-younger age group, the group with the largest recorded increase over the period. Trends for all age groups may reflect a change in testing as a result of the introduction of the Computer-Adaptive GMAT (GMAT CAT®) and the move of test administration off some college campuses into testing centers.
