You will need to choose a test centre at the time of registration. If you plan to take the test outside the US, you need to find out whether there is a Permanent test centre in your vicinity. The only Permanent test centre in the UK is in London.

How many times can I take the GMAT?

You may take the GMAT only once per calendar month and no more than five times within any 12-month period. The re-test policy applies even if you cancel your scores. Schools you designate as score recipients will receive your scores from the three most recent test dates within the last five years. Even if your score goes down after a retake, most schools will use the highest score on the score report. However, a drop in score could be seen as a negative factor in your application if you are on the borderline of acceptance, so it is advisable to take the test only if you feel confident that you can improve on your best score to date.
