Test Center Experience - The day of the test [#permalink]

GMAC Posted a video on You Tube providing a Tour of the testing center.
If you have not taken your GMAT yet, this is highly recommended:

Also, see this post covering other elements:

gmat-testing-center-physical-environment-80167.html#p602307
8-things-not-to-do-at-the-test-center-120625.html

Information covered:

Registration
ID's
Photo taking (did you know that your photo will be accessible to schools?)
Selecting schools before the test
Canceling scores
Unofficial score reports
List of prohibited items
In the beginning the video shows paper and pencil used for scratch paper - that's wrong. It later shows the correct item - you must use a noteboard w/ Marker

The Test Center was very intimidating, but now that I am aware of it next time it won't be an issue.
