Is repeat test-taking increasing? What types of gains can test takers expect?
AnswerA recent study showed that approximately 21% of GMAT tests are taken by individuals who take the test more than one time in a given year. Within the mean score range for the GMAT Total score, 500 to 540, approximately 28% of tests are taken by repeat testers. Great care is taken to match test takers on multiple demographic variables so as to minimize the possibility of mismatching test administrations. Most repeat test takers test two or three times within a year. Very few test more often than that. GMAC has a policy to prevent excessive repeat test taking. Test takers can take the GMAT test as many as five times within a 12-month period. In order to test more than five times in a 12-month period, a test taker must submit a written request to GMAC. The average gain between the first test and the second test is about 30 points on the GMAT Total score. The amount of gain varies depending on the amount of preparation undertaken by students prior to initial testing, among other thing
