Gmat official test keeps getting stuck at various points!

Question

Hey guys,

I've been trying to get the official gmat test 1 to work but it keeps getting stuck and won't take me to the next section. Somehow managed to reach the essay section and now it refuses to end the exam and show me my score.

My exam is tomorrow and I saved the official tests to take before the exam.

Is anyone else facing the same issue? I read through a few threads where it seems like it takes 2 days minimum for the issue to be resolved.

If your actual exam is tomorrow, then whatever is going on with your practice exam should not be a concern. Regardless of the score you would earn, what could you do to improve your approach by tomorrow? It is probably best to take your mind off the GMAT™ altogether and do something else (e.g., take a walk, watch a movie, write someone a letter). If you have put in the hard work to earn the score you want, then you will have to place trust in that training.

Good luck.

Hi. Yes, lots of people are facing the same issue unfortunately: https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-prep-so ... 77403.html Lots of people stuck in the same spot without a score

If you figure it out, please post the solution.

Do we know,   bb  , whether the crash occurs exclusively on the new interface? Can a user switch back to the old one and take the test without incident? I imagine there would be far more reports of crashes if everyone were experiencing problems. The trouble is, who would write a post just to inform the community that a practice test performed as expected?

The issues seem to be exclusively on the new UI and system. 
You can definitely switch and use the old GMAT Prep system. The two are not connected in any way.

The main downside is that the old system is supposedly going offline after Feb 28th. So you won’t be able to use it after that…. 😬

Ah, good to know. Then perhaps the solution is to take official practice tests using the old interface and hope that GMAC™ can get its act together on or before the end of February regarding the new interface. As I understand it, the new interface does not resemble the exam interface as well as the old one does. All things considered, I would rather take a mock that worked than get an hour deep into one and risk a known issue that halted the attempt.
