Clarification: Waiting period b/w GMAT Online & In-Center [#permalink] New post   15 May 2022, 13:56
Hi All,

I came across this post stating that there is no waiting period between attempting the GMAT across formats. Am I missing out on something?
Post: https://www.mba.com/exams-and-exam-prep ... e-the-gmat
Exact lines: First, there is a 16-day waiting period between exams of the same format (both in a testing center or both online). If you switch formats—for example, first take it in a testing center and then switch to the GMAT Online—there isn’t a waiting period.

Hypothetically, does this mean I can attempt the online exam on 21st May and re-attempt in-center within a week on 28th May i.e. after a gap of one week?
Is it true for vice versa as well i.e. in-center before and then online?

I would be happy to hear your thoughts on the same.

For the last 2 years there has been no connection between test center and online versions of the gmat. A number of people have taken them days apart or the next day in some cases.

PS. Help me understand, you saw the statement written on the official website for the GMAT and you did not believe it? But then you will believe what someone may reply to you and GMAT club? Is that a compliment to GMAT club or a snub to GMAC? 😇😂😎

As BB has said, there is no waiting period between GMATs if you alternate between the test center and the online GMAT.

The short answer is yes. You could probably take it the very next day if, for example, there was a slot available.
