DO NOT confuse the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) with the GMAT; these are different tests.

The GMAT is sponsored and controlled by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) and is administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS).

The GMAT is offered four times a year: January, March, June, and October. La Salle University serves as a test site for the March, June, and October tests. This test includes sections in assessing applicants' verbal, quantitative and analytical writing abilities.

GMAT applications, including a registration fee, must be submitted to the Educational Testing Service at least one month in advance. Applications may be obtained from ETS, Box 966, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, or by visiting http://www.gmat.org for more information.
