Hi guys - not sure if someone has already asked this question but does anyone know if we are required to show our photo ID (passport) to the proctor before taking the GMAT Online or do we have to upload a scanned version?
Show more

Hi davidbeckham,

You will be required to take a photo of your ID, along with the photos of your exam environment, using your phone during the system check.
The proctor will only check the uploaded photo of your ID and authorize the exam. If there are any issues with the uploaded photos, the proctor may ask you to re-upload.

Here I go. Hope Verbal Gods will favor me on test day and I wont miss more than 1 question out of 3 :)

My account page does not show any sign that I've scheduled an exam. As I've read from previous posts it will be available 30 minutes prior to exam.

I've made system check with all photo uploads before I've scheduled the exam, Everything was ok. Am I obliged to do it now, after scheduling the exam? I dont really get how they will relate my system check, made before scheduling the exam, to my mba account.

Hi LevanKhukhunashvili,

The system check that you performed now is only to verify if all the requirements are met. You will be directed to a system check once again when you click on the begin exam link, which will be available exactly 30 mins before the scheduled start of your exam.
Since there is another mandatory system check prior to the exam, it is recommended to perform the initial system check on same computer you plan to use for Online GMAT.

reddy10d, thanks for your reply. Sorry, I am still a bit unclear - I am assuming if they want photos of the ID, scans should be fine as well. In any case, the photos have to be uploaded 30 mins before the test or we can upload them in advance?

Please check the system test page from mba.com website. It should redirect you yo pearson vue site and gives you instruction to perform the system check, which is essentially a check-in procedure, it will tell you to take photo of yourself, your testing surrounding, and your id.

Taking your photo is part of checkin, so no, you cant take it in advance. And it will be a selfie, I don't think scanned picture will do the trick

I have one more thing to add.
I initially had my Online GMAT in the first week of May, but had to stop the test within the first 5 mins due to some technical issue. I then had the opportunity to retake the test at the end of May.
In both the cases, I had to upload the photo of my ID twice. I've heard a similar thing from one of my friends as well.
I suppose that the mandatory system check before the test intentionally does this to make sure that we are actually in procession of the original ID (cross checking the images uploaded on two distinct occasions). In my second attempt my proctor informed me that the ID was not uploaded properly and asked me to take a picture of it again and submit (all this while the video recording was on).

It seems that the online result takes much longer than previously mentioned, the June 4th exam results are still not out yet.

Some get it within 2 days while it takes longer for others. If no scores are updated after 10 days it becomes a point of concern.

I tried the initial steps in the Systems check. I reached till I got to the take photos using mobile section and didn't continue.

Do they have an app where we need to put the pics or do we have to upload them somewhere? Can you please tell the detailed steps for checkin?

No app. It’s a browser based platform. You can either get the URL sent to your phone or just type it out in the address bar.

Once you’ve reached that stage, it will ask you to take four pictures then upload them. If they are all good, you should be able to continue from your computer.

Is it necessary to use wifi router or LAN for internet connection ?
Can't we use mobile hotspot with excellent speed ?

I read somewhere it is not allowed. Has anyone given exam using mobile tethering ?

Yes, I wonder if a tablet or another laptop may do, but it is instructed to be a phone by GMAC.

It should be fine as long as your mobile phone is not in plain sight.

I would recommend a phone. How do you take a picture with a laptop? You can use the webcam technically but it won’t really be a good photo.

Has anyone gotten actual confirmation that we can take advantage of the two test loophole if you haven't taken it yet? If i take the online test tomorrow(the 10th), will i be able to take it at some point later in June again with the whiteboard?

Cool. Thanks for the info. One thing - do you keep the phone with you after the photos are uploaded or keep it out of the room? Is it fine if you place it far away - let's say on the bed or something?
