Hey
I was supposed to take my GMAT on Aug 11 but I was not allowed to because there was a small name mismatch. I had used "xxxx. T" where T is an initial and that is how my name is written in all my IDs except in my passport where it is just "xxxx" and expansion of 'T' is written separately under 'surname'. I got so disheartened to hear that I would not be writing the exam after preparing for months. Any advice on what to do from here, keeping in my mind the triviality of my issue here? :/

I had mismatch in my middle name.
I sent a mail to Pearson to change the name on my GMAT account according to the one given in passport and attached the copies of passport, additional ID card.
It was done within 3 days.
U can try doing so!

Re: Question About a New Lifetime Limit Policy
Hello,
I have a question about a new lifetime limit that will take effect on December 17. I understand that there is an exception to the policy for a test taker who genuinely wants to take a 9th test.
I did send this week a request for an exception via the inquiry box in “Contact Us” section of the official GMAT site and has received the following response:
“Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding the GMAT lifetime retake policy. We do understand that some candidates will need to take the GMAT more than 8 times. Therefore, we are allowing you to request an exception to this policy. A request for an exception can be raised with the supporting documents if a requirement has been made by the school you intend to join.”
Since I was not clear about the supporting documents required, I asked a follow-up question and received the following response:
“We would require a document on the letter head of the school, stating that they require you to take the GMAT exam again and an exception should be provided to you. Please send the documents by replying to this email address. “
However, I doubt that a business school will issue such a letter. Since this is about an exception to the general rule, I assume that the request will be considered on a case-by-case basis and the review process will be flexible taking into account relevant circumstances. Therefore, I am hoping that the kind of supporting documents required will not be rigid but can be flexible.
In my case, I applied to a top 10 US business school this fall but my application was rejected. I would like to re-apply next year with a higher GMAT score. My score was around the school’s average but my GPA was lower than the school’s average. I have been studying to take the GMAT test again in April and I am confident that I can gain a substantially higher score. As you may be aware, an applicant who has a lower GPA can often increase the likelihood of acceptance by showing a higher GMAT score than the school’s average.
My school does not provide a feedback to a declined applicant as it receives a large number of applications. Therefore, it will not issue the kind of the letter your PearsonVUE customer service representative described. However, I can send a document showing that I did apply this fall using a GMAT score from this year. I believe that it shows that I am not abusing the current test process. I’ve also filled in five school names each time I took a GMAT exam and my scores have been sent to them.
I’d appreciate it very much if you could provide some guidance in this matter for someone in a similar situation to mine. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Todd
