After GMAT Online, can retake at test center?

Question

I haven't taken the test yet, just wondering if my score is not up to my expectation, whether I can retake the test immediately at the test center? Thanks!!

Yes. You can retake at the test center immediately but I am not sure I would recommend an immediate retake... though that’s beside the point.

You will be able to see your score after a few business days. You do not receive your score when you submit your exam.

Hi LoveWildLife,

Yes, you can. When do you plan to take the GMAT?

Hi! Is it possible to take the Gmat Online just after taking Gmat at the test center? Thanks!

Hi alchya,

Your scheduled appointment time at a Test Center has NO bearing on when you schedule an At-home GMAT appointment. As such, you could schedule them on the same day if you wanted to. That having been said, doing so would NOT be a good idea, nor would scheduling two appointments too close together on the calendar. The process of taking a FULL-LENGTH Test requires a significant amount of energy and effort - and takes time to 'recover' from. This is one of the reasons why you typically shouldn't take more than 1 CAT per week - and your last CAT should be taken about 1 week before Test Day. If you take the GMAT and end up with a Score that you're not happy with, then you need time to recover - and to put in some additional study to hone the necessary skills to earn that higher Score that you're after.

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

You seem to have already taken the GMAT test three times with scores of 640, 660 and a high of 740 on the third attempt. That's quite an improvement and you seem to have built some good experience with the test. Is there any reason why you want to take the test yet another time? Is 740 not satisfactory?

And yes, you can immediately take the test at the test center.

Thank you for your precious answer. I know that this is not recommendable but this will give me more confidence to know that I still have a second chance before the first round deadline. And about your kind questions, I think it is preferable to talk privately because this is not the main point of the topic. But I would really be happy to answer your questions hear your advice and maybe look at your additional services.

Hi alchya,

If you'd like to discuss your studies privately, then that's perfectly fine. You can feel free to PM me directly or email me (at [email protected]).

Hi all,

I am curious whether this retake policy still applies after the May 20, 2021 Enhanced GMAT online update.

Thank you,
