How much extra will it cost me to change my GMAT test centre before the exam?
Changing your GMAT test centre before the exam costs an additional USD 10. This charge applies specifically to centre changes and comes on top of other rescheduling fees, so shifting your date and personal details at the same time raises the total cost further.
If you need to switch your GMAT test centre before your exam, expect to pay an additional USD 10 for that change. This fee applies specifically to the centre switch and is separate from other rescheduling charges.
GMAT Change and Cancellation Rules
| Change Requested | Rule |
|---|---|
| Personal details or date of birth | Allowed only up to 72 hours before the exam |
| Exam centre, dates, or personal details | No changes allowed within 24 hours of the exam |
| Test centre change fee | Additional USD 10 |
| Missed exam re-registration | Full fee applies, no 16-day wait required |
Rescheduling Versus Cancelling
Generally, rescheduling your GMAT costs less than cancelling outright, and how early you make the request also affects whether you get a full refund or none at all. These fees differ slightly between test centre and online testing modes, so check which applies to your booking.
My Advice
Make any centre or schedule changes as early as possible, well outside that 24-hour freeze window. Waiting until the last minute doesn't just risk higher fees, it can lock you out of making any change at all.
