Hi WA@urk544,
Taking the GMAT in person does offer several potential advantages compared to the online exam. For starters, the in-person test provides a structured, distraction-free environment, typically resulting in fewer technical issues and interruptions compared to online testing at home.
It can also help candidates mentally prepare and focus better, as the environment closely replicates standardized testing conditions. However, the online GMAT offers greater flexibility and comfort, allowing test-takers to choose convenient timing and location, reducing anxiety for some candidates.
Importantly, almost all business schools treat GMAT scores from online and in-person tests equally. However, you should confirm with specific schools you're targeting, as admissions policies can occasionally differ slightly.
