The mobile test center was launched in 2006 to bring the GMAT exam to 32 campuses in 14 states, including historically black colleges and universities and Hispanic-serving institutions. 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.
