Step 1 GMAT— Make arrangements to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) and have your official score report sent to our office. Our institution code is 1339. If you have already taken the GMAT, we will accept the official score report if it is no more than three [3] years old. Locally (Michiana Region), the Sylvan Learning Center (254-1055) at 3005 N. Grape Road (between Edison and McKinley) in Mishawaka administers the GMAT. They offer the test every weekday (including some Saturdays) the last three weeks of every month. Sylvan does get backed up so call way in advance to set up your test date. The cost of the GMAT is $250. Consult the enclosed GMAT Bulletin for other locations or phone 1-800-462-8669. Visit the MBA ExplorerTM at www.mba.com for quick answers to most questions and the latest GMAT information. Telephone lines are open 24 hours (1-609-771-7330) to provide general, but more limited, GMAT information.
