There are only 2 GMAT test centers in Dubai! Depending on where you live, they are not well located and, of course, parking can be a problem.
But first, you need to know…
1. You can take the GMAT at home online.
If you’ve got great internet and a chill environment, you should consider taking the GMAT online at home. Taking the test at home means you can take it at just about any time that works with your schedule…even overnight. So taking the GMAT online means you have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to take the test.
2. Test centers do get booked.
We have found that October through December is the busiest time for GMAT test takers in Dubai. Round 1 deadlines are in October and round 2 deadlines tend to be in December/January. Therefore, many people want to take the exam during this time.
There are also only two GMAT test centers in Dubai. If you can’t find a time you want in the test center, consider taking the GMAT online at home.

3. The best GMAT test center in Dubai?
To be honest, neither test center is that great. One is far away from the main part of the city with okay parking. The other is well-located, but parking and construction noise can be a problem. Our recommendation is to go to whichever test center is closest to where you live. You will have less stress getting there and one step closer to crashing at home when the test is over.

When can you take the GMAT Dubai?
Anytime! The GMAT is available in test centers 7 days a week, except on holidays. You can also take the test online from home. However, October, November, and December are the busiest months for GMAT test taking, so we recommend taking the GMAT before or after these 3 months.
Should I take the GMAT online or at the test center?
We prefer the test center experience because there are fewer distractions and you know the tech works. You can check the MBA.com website for two videos that explain the differences in the experience.
If you need an unofficial score to send to universities immediately, you should take the exam in the TEST CENTER. As soon as you finish the test, the center will print and stamp an unofficial score report that can immediately be uploaded with your application. Otherwise, you have to wait 7 to 20 days for a score.
How long do I have to wait before I take the GMAT again?
You must wait at least 16 days after you take the GMAT (whether online or in person) before you can retake it.
How much does GMAT cost in Dubai?
The GMAT costs US $275 (about AED 1,010) to take at the test center or US $300 (about AED 1,100) to take at home.
