GMAT Exam Dates in Turkey
Unlike some paper based exams, the GMAT is computer based. Therefore, there are no fixed test dates for GMAT. Wherever you are in Turkey, all test centers are open from Monday through Saturday throughout the year. Some even offer the exam every day of the year. However, some test centers are not open on Sundays and national holidays. For example, most college-based test centers might be closed for extended periods around holidays.

More about Turkey
Climate
In Turkey, especially in the area of the south and west coast, there is a Mediterranean climate with generally mild, humid winters and dry, hot summers. In the high areas there is a continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold winters. The precipitation increases in the interior of Anatolia from west to east and from the lower to the higher altitudes. The Ararat highlands have strictly continental climates (short, hot, rain-free summer, long, snowy winter). The Black Sea coast has sufficient rainfall and moderate temperatures all year round.
Waters: The rivers have large water level fluctuations due to the seasonal fluctuations in rainfall. The most important rivers are Yenice Irmak, Kizilirmak, Sakarya Nehri , Çoruh Nehri and Yesilirmak (the Black Sea), Gediz, Büyük Menderes and Dalaman Çayı (the Aegean), Manavgat Çayı, Seyhan, Ceyhan , Göksu and Asi Nehri (Orontes , Syria, to the Mediterranean), Euphrates , Tigris and Büyük Zap (from the Ararat highlands, southern Pontus and eastern Taurus). In Inner Anatolia and parts of Eastern Anatolia, the smaller rivers dry up in summer or end in salt lakes such as the Tuz Gölü or Lake Van.
