Can you take the GMAT online?

Yes. The online GMAT has the same three sections, the same timing and the same 205 to 805 scoring as the test center version. You take it at home on your own computer, watched by a live proctor through your webcam. As of October 2026 it costs $300, and appointments are available around the clock.

Both count the same with schools, and both count toward the five attempts you’re allowed in 12 months.

What you need at home

You can’t leave your desk except during the optional break. If you do, your exam may be canceled.

  • A Mac or PC that passes GMAC’s system check. Touchscreens and ultrawide monitors aren’t allowed.
  • A webcam and a strong internet connection. No VPN or remote desktop.
  • A private room with a clear desk. Nobody else can come in once you’ve started check-in.
  • Your ID, which you photograph at check-in.

Where the online GMAT isn’t offered

GMAC offers the online exam worldwide except in mainland China, Iran, Cuba, Sudan and North Korea. If you live in one of those, you’ll need a test center.

Practice on the same setup

GMAC’s free Starter Kit includes Practice Exams 1 and 2, which use the same algorithm, scoring and timing as the real exam. Taking one at the desk and on the computer you’ll test on is a cheap dress rehearsal, and it tells you early if the on-screen whiteboard suits you or you’d rather use a physical one.
