the profile of Graduate Management admission test® (GMat®) candidates 2004–05 to 2008–09

With 265,613 exams administered worldwide, the 2008-09 testing year was a record for the Graduate Management Admission Test exam . overall testing has been rising since 2004-05, and the most recent year surpassed the previous high of 246,957 tests taken in 2007-2008 . The Graduate Management Admission Council’s annual Profile of GMAT Candidates captures key data about graduate management education candidates who take the Graduate Management Admission Test exam . The Profile presents data about examinees based on gender, age, citizenship, location, and world region . Additional analyses examine undergraduate major and intended degree pursued .

Inside the Profile

This edition of the Profile summarizes GMAT data over five testing years, from 2004-05 through 2008-09 . “Testing years” run from July 1 to June 30, mirroring the academic calendar .

Interpreting the data

Descriptions of each individual table offer specific insights about how to interpret the data . At a glance, here’s what the Profile can tell you:

• The number of people who took the GMAT exam in a given year, with 10-year trends.

• Mean GMAT scores for a given year, with 10-year trends.

• Where examinees claim citizenship, with breakdowns by world region.

• Examinee statements about their intended degree pursued (e.g., MBA, EMBA, PhD).

• Details about examinee undergraduate majors.

For additional information about GMAT examinees, refer to the Geographic Trend reports, which provide a closer look at specific trends in GMAT examinee score-reporting behavior . Current titles include:

• European Geographic Trend Report for GMAT Examinees

• Asian Geographic Trend Report for GMAT Examinees

• World Geographic Trend Report for GMAT Examinees

• North American Geographic Trend Report for GMAT Examinees

notes about the GMat exam

The GMAT exam is an important part of the admissions process for approximately 4,700 graduate management programs in more than 1,900 business schools worldwide . The GMAT exam consists of three sections: verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical Writing . GMAT “Total” scores, which are reported in the Profile, are calculated based on performance in 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

Repeat test takers: The information in this Profile comes from reportable scores of examinees who tested during the five-year period from 2004–05 to 2008–09 . Examinees who took the test more than once in this time period are represented in the data the number of times they took the test . In any given testing period, approximately 15–22% of the test takers are repeaters .


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®) database1 . However, examinees are not required to provide this information, and some choose not to do so .

“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 question about gender for testing years 2006–07 through 2008–09 .

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, however, 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 Profile’s 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 zero examinees to report for 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 two examinees from a given subgroup or country .
