Profile of GMAT Candidates, 200809 to 201213 (Executive Summary)

Executive Summary of The Profile of Graduate

Management Admission Test (GMAT) Candidates
200809 to 201213
Testing year 201213 held a number of significant milestones for the Graduate
Management Admission Test exam.
A total of 238,356 GMAT exams were administered, with 675,733 score reports
sent to nearly 5,600 graduate-level management programs around the world. As
expected, testing year 201213 data show a decline in testing volume compared
with the surge noted the previous year. This trend reflects increased interest in the
exam brought on by the addition of the Integrated Reasoning section on June 5,
2012, which pulled testing 201112 figures toward record highs. Historically, test
volume rises just before changes are made to a standardized exam as test takers
opt for a familiar format at transition time.
The Graduate Management Admission Councils annual Profile of GMAT
Candidates captures key data about GMAT volume and the candidates who
take the exam. The Profile presents data about tests taken based on examinee
gender, age, citizenship, residency, and world region. Additional analyses examine
undergraduate major and intended degree.

Inside the Profile Executive Summary

This edition of the Profile summarizes GMAT data by gender over 10 testing
years, as well as by citizenship and world region over five testing years, from
200809 through 201213. Testing years run from July 1 to June 30,
mirroring many academic calendars.
More detailed data on student mobility are available in the Geographic Trend
Reports, which provide a closer look at GMAT score-sending trends over the
past five years.
Current titles include:

Notes About the GMAT Exam

The GMAT exam is an important part of the admissions process for
more than 2,100 schools worldwide. The GMAT exam consists of
four sections: Verbal, Quantitative, Analytical Writing, and Integrated
Reasoning. GMAT Total scores, which are reported in the Profile,
are calculated based on performance on the Verbal and Quantitative
sections of the exam. Total scores are reported in increments of 10,
on a scale ranging from 200 to 800.
Notes About the Data
Unique Examinees: Data in this report reflect the total number of
GMAT exams that generated valid, reportable scores during a given
testing year. Examinees who took the exam more than once during
the year are included in the aggregate data each time they generated
a valid score. For example, if an individual took the GMAT exam twice
during the 201213 testing year, he or she would represent a total of
two exams taken during that year.
Since 200809, the annual percentage of individuals taking the GMAT
exam has ranged from 80 to 84 percent of total GMAT exams taken
globally. In the most recent testing year, 190,658 unique test takers
submitted valid scores, which translates to 80 percent of the 238,356
GMAT exams reported for the year. Although the overall rate has
remained relatively constant over the five-year period analyzed for
this report, there is often significant variation across global regions.
US citizens, for example, had a unique examinee rate of 87 percent
in 201213, compared with just 67 percent for citizens of East and
Southeast Asian countries.
The percentage of tests taken by non-US citizens has gone from 51
percent in 200809 to 62 percent in 201213.
Biographical information: During the test session, GMAT examinees
are asked to provide the biographical and demographic information
that is used in this Profile and for the Graduate Management Admission
Search Service (GMASS) database.1 Examinees are not required to
provide this information, and some choose not to do so.

1 The Graduate Management Admission Search Service (GMASS) database is an

annual, subscription-based service with a pool of names of potential applicants who have
chosen to make their contact and other information available to schools. The database
pool frequently renews as individuals move through the decision-making process. For more
information, visit gmac.com/gmass.

Profile of GMAT Candidates, 200809 to 201213 (Executive Summary)

No response data: No response data included in Table 1 of the Profile

refer to a small number of examinees who did not respond to the question about
gender. No response data are not specified in the other tables. Consequently,
for tables other than Table 1, grand sums will not necessarily equal the total in
Table 1. Note, however, that all test takers responded to the questions about
gender and citizenship for testing years 200809 through 201213.
Standard deviations: The only statistics reported in this summary are group
sizes and mean Total scores. Another statistic commonly reported for data of this
kind is the standard deviation, a measure of the spread of score distribution. For
the data reported in the Profile, nearly all of the standard deviations for GMAT
Total scores are in the 90 to 110 range. Because these standard deviations are
redundant across subgroups tabulated in this summary and across the Profiles
testing years, they are not reported here.
Dashes in tables: Dashes that appear in tables throughout this report are used
to indicate not applicable, such as when there are no examinees in a given
subgroup and, thus, no scores exist. For examinee privacy, dashes are also used
in place of mean Total scores when there are fewer than five examinees from a
given subgroup or country.

*Note:
Testing figures for testing year 201112 partially reflect increased interest in the exam brought on by the addition
of the Integrated Reasoning section on June 5, 2012. Historically, test volume rises just before changes are made to
a standardized exam as test takers opt for a familiar format prior to the transition. A closer look at testing volumes
for the last five years shows that the surge in testing year 201112 followed by the dip in 201213 average out to
about the same number of tests taken in each of the three years prior (Figure 1).

Recruiting resources
Individuals with accounts on mba.com, the online portal to registration for the GMAT exam, have the free option to
be included in the Graduate Management Admission Search Service (GMASS) database. For these individuals, inclusion
in the GMASS database opens opportunities for communication with schools looking for candidates like them and
potentially increases their exposure and visibility to programs they otherwise might not have considered.
For schools, the GMASS database provides direct access to qualified potential candidates who have shown a strong
interest in graduate management education. These potential candidates have created an mba.com profile, have
specifically chosen to make their contact and other information available to schools, and may have taken the GMAT
exam.
Participation in this service provides school professionals with information about these potential candidates that is
updated daily. A GMASS subscription allows schools to customize candidate searches using criteria that fits their specific
recruiting needs. Schools can use the database information to:

Target their audience.

Connect with current candidates.
Find the best candidates anytime, anywhere.
Create custom searches.
