Ideally, applicants can register for the GMAT between 6 months and 24 hours before the planned date for taking the exam, irrespective of the mode. Since it is difficult to get an exam slot at the last hour, it is better to register for GMAT exam around 2-3 monhs before the exam date if registering for GMAT at test centre. Following this rule will help students avoiding the last minute registrations for GMAT.

What is common between the GMAT at the test centre and online is the:
- GMAT exam eligibility, syllabus, structure, preparation and registration are the same for both these modes of GMAT exams.
- The costs for rescheduling or cancelling the GMAT are also the same for both modes of the exam.
- GMAT scores, GMAT score reports and up to 5 free score reports are also the same.
- Plus, the unoffical GMAT scores also reflect on the screen temporarily for both test centre and online test takers of GMAT.

- GMAT Online is conducted 24/7 and registrations can happen 24 hours before the preferred exam slot. On the other hand GMAT at test centre also allows 24 hours before registration but slots are limited and last minute slots can be unavailable.
- GMAT Online is more expensive than GMAT at test centre. GMAT Online costs USD 300+taxes and GMAT at test centre costs USD 275+taxes.
- When appearing for GMAT at home (online), applicants can access an online whiteboard or have a physical whiteboard. Whereas, at the test centre, applicants get laminated sheets and dry eraser

Applicants must note that the new GMAT score usually ends with 5, thus, the new GMAT score cannot be 620. In comparison to the old GMAT score, the overall scores ended with a zero, so a score of 620 could be converted to the new GMAT scoring range. As per the old GMAT score scale, a score of 620 corresponds to 575 or 585 composite score on the new GMAT scale.
The scale of calculation was different for the old GMAT that is, 200-800. On the other hand for the new GMAT, the score scale is 205-805, thus, the difference. This is why the old GMAT score is higher in calculation in comparison to the new GMAT score scale.
