GMAT ONLINE FLAGGED FOR ADMINSTRATIVE REVIEW [#permalink] New post   Updated on: 22 Sep 2023, 06:30
Gave my first GMAT(Online) yesterday after 5 months of rigorous preparation, my unofficial score is 730 (Q50,V39,IR8) with the exam going on smoothly with no tech related hiccup but just once in between the quant section the proctor told me to adjust my webcam a bit and nothing else. Today I received a mail that my exam is under administrative review which can take up to 20 business days. Is this normal? does this mean my score is going to be cancelled as I have read a lot of stories on forum and reddit about this.

UPDATE: received my official scores after 8 to 10 hours, Ty everyone btw

Hi. Have you really read a lot of stories about peoples scores being canceled?

This is normal. All this means is that the AI which analyze your recording flagged that for some reason, probably because of camera adjustment that was required and now a human needs to review the footage. Cancellations of scores for frivolous reasons are quite rare.

Some people did have their score canceled for grabbing their phone or someone walking in to their test room and frankly silly reasons which should’ve been forgiven but unfortunately they are policy violations and they were enforced but in general, I don’t see many or almost any cancellations so I’m curious what you are referring to.

Thanks for the reply BB it was a just a very normal call from the proctor while I was at q21 or 20(Not Sure) and solving in the whiteboard when I received the call that you are a little out of the camera frame and that's it I Immediately adjusted and the entire paper went smoothly, I started with the order AWA,IR,Quants and then Verbal.
I mean the email is scary because the amount of cancellations I have read after receiving this email are a lot on different online Gmat forums that is why I am on an edge.
Some are saying that it is pretty normal for any score above 700 to get automatically flagged for review.

It's just selection bias at play here. Even if only 1% of those Flagged face score cancellation, they are the ones who are going to be most vocal about it. That is why you may end up feeling that many cancellation happen. I do understand that GMAT Online is quite sensitive to the environmental factors (perhaps more so in case of high scores) during the test but it should be fine for you. It would be normal for people to fall off the view a bit unknowingly while being focused on the test.
Congratulations on the great score!

UPDATE
my GMAT ONLINE Status changed to Score Reportable, Send Score.(730 Q50,V39,IR 8, AWA 5)
Ok so does that mean my review is done and everything is fine?
If yes that means my GMAT review was done within 10 hours.
