Mobile GMAT Test Center to Visit Historically Black and Hispanic-Serving
Colleges and Universities
GMAT Bus to Bring Business School Entrance Exam To 32 Campuses in 14 States

MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The GMAT Mobile Test Center
will travel to dozens of colleges and universities across the United States as
it again crosses the country on a mission to bring the Graduate Management
Admission Test directly to prospective business school students.

This tour -- the fifth since the mobile test center was launched in 2006 --
will bring the GMAT exam to 32 campuses in 14 states, including historically
black colleges and universities and Hispanic-serving institutions. The
eight-month trip is scheduled to begin October 21, 2009, at Humphreys College
in Stockton, California, and conclude May 7, 2010, at Bethune-Cookman
University in Daytona Beach, Florida.

The unique test center on wheels -- a customized bus with six high-tech GMAT
testing stations and satellite communications links -- delivers the GMAT to
students located far from a permanent GMAT test center. The mobile test center
is operated by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), owner of the
GMAT, and includes the same sophisticated test-security and ID-verification
systems used at the global network of permanent GMAT test centers.

The test center is managed for GMAC by Pearson VUE, which provides test
administration services for the GMAT worldwide. The GMAT is a standardized
entrance exam used by thousands of graduate management education programs
around the world.

People interested in taking the GMAT on the mobile test center may make an
appointment by visiting www.mba.com/gmatbus or calling 1-800-717-GMAT. An
affiliation with one of the educational institutions hosting the test center
is not required.

This trip represents the GMAT Mobile Test Center's fifth transcontinental
journey. Established as a pilot program to increase access to the exam for
students in remote areas in fall 2006, the bus visited nearly 50 locations in
the United States between October 2006 and May 2007. A second seven-month tour
in 2007-08 included 28 U.S. colleges and universities. In mid-2008, the mobile
test center visited 14 universities in seven Canadian provinces. The mobile
test center's most recent trip took it to 17 college campuses in 12 U.S.
states earlier in 2009.

The Graduate Management Admission Test is used by approximately 4,700 graduate
business programs around the world. The test is owned by the Graduate
Management Admission Council (GMAC), an international nonprofit organization
of leading business schools. GMAC is based in McLean, Virginia, and has a
European office in London. Launched in 1954, the GMAT is today administered at
over 400 testing centers in more than 110 countries. More information about
GMAC and the GMAT exam is available at www.gmac.com.
