Hi,

Hello, Avantika. You can schedule your GMAT exam up to 24 hours in advance of your desired appointment date, provided that your testing center has open slots. I suggest that if you know you want to take the exam next week that you schedule your appointment as soon as possible. Fall is a heavy testing time so you may have a more difficult time finding an open appointment time.

As for your second question, there is no one study strategy or set number of hours that will guarantee you a specific score. You may want to download GMATPrep, our free online study software, and take a practice test. It uses the same scoring algorithm as the GMAT exam, and should give you a good idea of how you will perform on test day. You can download it here: http://www.mba.com/store/product-info.a ... ID=80.0027

You may also want to read this blog written by our research team, on how long test-takers typically study for the exam: http://officialgmat.mba.com/2012/04/19/ ... mat-score/

Good luck.

Hey Rebecca!

Taking gmat next month!
Should I buy the question pack again?


Good luck on taking the GMAT! If you are referring to the GMATPrep Question Pack, I am sorry to report that purchasing it again will not give you a new question set. You may want to purchase a different OG product to get new and different test questions. Have you tried the GMAT Paper Tests? You can purchase a set of three retired GMAT exams at our mba.com store here: http://www.mba.com/gmatpapertests?CID=D ... ID=80.0027. Please note these will not come with IR questions.

Good luck!

Attn GMAT Test-Takers on the US East Coast: If your test center is closed, you will be contacted by Pearson Vue via the contact info you provided when you scheduled the appointment. All communications will come from Pearson Vue, not from your test center. If you have any questions or need to reschedule, please contact Pearson Vue at +1 (800) 717-GMAT (4628) or email GMATCandidateServicesAmericas@Pearson.com. Stay safe and stay dry!

URGENT Help [#permalink] New post 12 Nov 2012, 03:56
My exam for Gmat is on 16th Nov and as I learnt that i have to carry my passoprt during the exam.
But, my passoprt is with Swiss Embessy for the visa process, as I have to travel a week later.

So, at time of exam I won't be having my passoprt with me.

But I have with me the photo copy of my passport front and last page (colored scanned copy too), which provides all the details which the GMAT Requires (My name, Photo, Signature and the Address). If required, I could carry the embessy interivew call letter also. (or any other document as ID proof).
Seeing the genuinity of my problem, I hope GMAT/Pearson VUE should support on it.

Please respond, if you can help me with this query.

Thanks

Sorry to hear about that. Please send an email to gmatprep@gmac.com with a screen shot and the OS version you are using in the email. We'll have our developer team take a look at it.

Hi!

I would like to ask how long does it take for the unofficial report to go to the desired school.
For example, if I select the 5 schools that I would like my result to be send to, when would they know the unofficial result. Do they get to know it right away or it takes time?
Thanks a lot!

The schools you select are sent only your Official Score Report, which can take up to 20 business days. Your unofficial score, which you will see as soon as you finish the exam, is for your personal information only. I hope that helps!

Hey Angiee,

I also got the same error screens. But I figured out how to get through it!

When you get IOERROR messages, there are about 50 dialogue boxes (one over the other). So just keep clicking on the 'OK' button.... approximately 50 times. Soon you will realize that 'you have acknowledged all the error messages' and no dialogue box is left.

Then you are good to use to GMAT Prep Software.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for your comments on this. I shared this post with our developers. We certainly don't want people to have to click through 50 error messages to access the software!

Hi Rebecca,
Can you please let us know that why GMAC is not lenient enough in allowing test takers to submit their score (to the schools they want) after the test is over and they see their score on the screen ?

Appreciate your feedback.

Does GMAC consider requests ? [#permalink] New post 25 Feb 2013, 05:40
Hello,

I am retaking the GMAT on 19th March as my first attempt did not go well. It was the earliest date I could find after the cooling period. However the school that I want to apply to has its deadline on 31st March. So I was wondering if it would be possible to request for an accelerated delivery of the official scores in such a situation.
Hoping for a prompt reply,

Regards,

Hello, Debayan! We do require test-takers to select their five schools to send their score reports to for free, but you can send score reports to schools after take the exam for an additional fee. This is done for efficiency purposes.

Thanks for the question.

Hello, Shraddah! Unfortunately, there is no way to expedite your GMAT score report. At this time it is taking the full 20 days to process the report. I recommend you reach out to the school you plan to apply to, to discuss the situation. Some schools are willing to wait for a GMAT score report if the test-taker has taken the exam. Good luck!
