I started to get interested in the idea of GMAT, and how it came about. Apparently in 1953 some 9 business schools decided to develop a standardized test to support their selection process for suitable applicants to their MBA programs. This association grew into the Graduate Management Admission Council, which administers GMAT. Apparently in the first year they ran GMAT, the tests were taken some 2000 times. This year the figure will be more than 200,000 tests.
There are some 1,500 schools that accept the GMAT results as a part of their selectin criteria, onto some 1,800 programs. Obviously this means that GMAT is used by schools in many countries, and for many different programs. In fact GMAC have several products that can be of use if you are looking to study an MBA, including a school search database and career development programs.
