GMAT Exams in Asia – Notable Demographic Trends

The GMAC guys who administer the GMAT exam just released a press release giving some insight into the Asian demographics of GMAT test takers.

Looks like there’s been a huge jump in number of test takers in Asia over the last 5 years.

In 2009, a total of 265,613 GMAT exams were taken globally, compared to 200,503 in 2005.

Of this number, 55,367 were either Indian or Chinese–so roughly 20% of all test takers came from India or China.

Also the number of GMAT percentile score reports sent to Asian schools increased significantly from 15,000 in 2005 to 50,000 in 2009. So more than 3 times as many score reports were sent to Asian schools in 2009 than in 2005.

The rise of business opportunities is increasing the demand for the MBA degree in Asia. There’s also a rise in the number of MBA institutions in Asia. It used to be that everybody sent their scores to U.S. based business schools. But that’s changing and we believe this will continue to change in this directional trend in the near future.
