Time and Location
While scheduling your exam, you are provided with two slots to select from. You can either go for the morning slot or opt for the afternoon one. The slots can be altered in every attempt. However, the availability of dates depends upon the local exam centres, so it is advised that you book earlier so that you have a wide range of options even in terms of date.
Can I retake GMAT?
