GMAT
The GMAT is administered worldwide. In North America and most other parts of the world, it is administered only as a computer-adaptive test (CAT). Prospective applicants who are located in a country that does not currently offer the GMAT CAT and who cannot travel to another country to take the test should contact Customer Service at the Educational Testing Service. See below for ways to contact ETS.
The GMAT Information Bulletin and the GMAC web site (shown below) contain detailed information about the options for registering to take the test and having scores sent to desired schools. The Web site also contains the most up-to-date listing of test centers. Copies of the bulletin may be obtained by contacting the Educational Testing Service in one of these ways:

GMAT scores may not be more than five years old at the desired semester of entry. Applicants whose scores do not meet this age limit must retake the GMAT and have the current scores sent to the Office of Academic Assistance and Master's Admissions.
The test is designed to measure aptitude for graduate study in business and is not a measure of knowledge in specific business subjects. Competitive scores are required for a successful application, and the level of competitiveness is subject to change throughout the year. Scores significantly below current averages are not likely to be competitive.
Those taking this test must request that their scores be reported to the Robinson College of Business (M.B.A.) of Georgia State University. Those who have previously taken this test must request the Educational Testing Service to report their scores to the college. The college's code number for master's-level programs is 5251. The "candidate's copy" of the score report is not acceptable. Admission decisions will not be made based on the unofficial scores given to the test taker at the conclusion of the GMAT CAT.
The GMAT should be taken as far as possible in advance of the desired semester of entry since official scores must be received by the stated deadline for complete applications. Scores from GMAT CAT will be sent to the OAA two to three weeks after the test date.
GRE
The GRE is administered worldwide and year round. The General Test is offered only on the computer in most locations. It is an adaptive test measuring verbal, quantitative, and analytical writing skills.
Updated information about the GRE (including a change in format effective October 1, 2002), test centers, and registration procedures may be found on the GRE website shown below.
