Dear Team,
I wish to appear for GMAT Online exam from my home. I use mobile hotspot which gives a good speed (10-15 MBPS download speed, which is decent) and most importantly is consistent, unlike Wifi connection that gets disconnected abruptly (even though for a few seconds).
While wifi connection can give me speed in the range of 30-50 MBPS, it is highly inconsistent and one can never be sure when the connection will be off, thus leading to chances of my GMAT test getting canceled right at that moment. I have checked all possible internet wifi connections in my area, but there are inconsistency issues with all networks (as these are fibre-optic networks in my locality and there are usually unplanned maintenance works during which the line from server is cut-off)
I am not sure whether there is a rule that a mobile hotspot is not allowed for Internet connection in the GMAT ONLINE exam.
Request someone to please throw some light and suggest me what can be done. Thank you in advance.

I don't generally recommend it, as wired connections are usually much more reliable, but It is possible to use a mobile hotspot to take the GMAT Online. I suggest that you go ahead and take the test online. If you face major issues, you could consider switching to the regular (test center) GMAT.

Thank you so much AjiteshArun.
I found information in the mba.com website that states "Tethering to a mobile hotspot is prohibited."
However, I second you and I do not understand why mobile hotspot is prohibited as I am in no way doing any cheating, etc via mobile hotspot. I am worried- if I schedule my Online test and just before the test starts the examiner objects and cancels my test.
