Took the online gmat june 3rd and haven't received the results. Contacted both GMAC and Pearson but nothing comes up, I've seen some users has experience such delay too. Should I just wait it out?

Posted from my mobile device

We have seen a pattern of certain test sessions taking much longer than others to get the score.

My guess is they don’t really need to wait any time at all and they could’ve given the score right after the test. My suspicion is that they have someone review the footage to make sure there’s no suspicious activity. If there’s something suspicious, it triggers a review and I guess in those cases the people who do second level reviews are probably swamped and that’s the folks who don’t get their scores for a while. My guess is they don’t really needs to wait any time at all and they could’ve given the score right after the test.

My theory is that they have someone review the footage to make sure there’s no suspicious activity. If there’s something questionable, it triggers a review and I guess in those cases the people who do second level reviews are probably swamped and that’s why some folks who don’t get their scores for a while.

The most we have heard it take is almost 20 days ?

For the case that someone who had to wait for 20 days, did he/she eventually get the score or were they eventually offered a retake (obviously assuming the footage was at the end free of suspicious activities)?

I think the 20 days guy was the one we all know as the 'nightmare' scenario. I read his thread and I think he gets his score eventually. BUT, dang waiting for 20 days could actually stressed me out haha. I literally can't start preparing the other admission material because of this.

Does anyone know how long it takes to send the online GMAT scores to the schools? Is it still 20 days? So... because we don't get our score until a week after the test, the school will not receive my official score for a month? ? If that's the case.... yikes

The reason it was taking 20 days to send the scores in the past, was due to the AWA. Now the scores become a reportable and can be sent to business calls as soon as they are available so theoretically within seven days of you taking the GMAT.

The complete answer is a lot longer and more convoluted. So let’s hope that you get your score within a week :-)

Hi. As we know that mobile hotspot is prohibited for GMAT online. Can I appear for exam using Wi-Fi Dongle (that uses a SIM card)? I couldn't find any relevant information on this. Let me know if anyone is aware.

They claim that it takes 24 hours after you report your scores but it took more than a week for me and for some others it took even longer so a bit hard to tell.

bb souvik101990 - Please guide me with the below two questions of online GMAT (appologies if these questions are already answered on previous pages of this topic).

1. Around sharing score with Schools
I am yet to take GMAT: If I take online GMAT (my first attempt: Say I get 650) and score lower than my expected/required score. When I take test center GMAT (2nd Attempt and score 700): when I would share my score with schools will they receive both the scores (from online and test center GMAT) or I will have option to share only test center score?

2. Arround Infrastructure:
a. Whiteboard- Does it need to be a hard/wooden or can it be a dry erase whiteboard sheet
b. Is wireless/wired external mouse and keyboard, laptop stand allowed during the exam? (I believe it is as per the picture of Souvik table sent by BB, but want to confirm)

I guess that could work. But you could also try this - https://www.amazon.in/Pragati-Systems-N ... 51&sr=8-15

I can vouch for the dimensions at least. It is well within the limits and as this is a typical white board you shouldn't have any problems. Be careful of some of the other ones though. They have chalk board on the other side, and so might create issues.

Also, buy a marker from a good company like Camlin or Faber castell so that it doesn't dry out or give other issues.

Cheers.

If more thickness is a issue.
I will recommend this.

Ideally you would get a dry erase marker with a fine tip. A fine tip will allow you more efficient use and better writing and less frustration and likely more accuracy. I would spend and extra $1 or 5 to get a fine tip marker.

PS. Souvik did not have one and that made it harder. He was able to use the whiteboard for only about 4 questions before he has to erase.

PS. Make sure you practice and feel good with the whiteboard.

PPS. He had 2 markers on his desk and the proctor did not say anything ?

bb That's because the rules have changed now.

You are now allowed two markers. Yay! :) Also they corrected the conversion between inches and centimeters. :P

Here is the quote:

Whiteboard Requirements:

1 erasable whiteboard no larger than 12 inches x 20 inches (30 centimetres x 50 centimetres)
Up to 2 dry erase markers
1 dry erase whiteboard eraser

AH! Thanks for posting. I did not consider things would be changing so much. Glad they made it more reasonable. ?

souvik101990 / bb,

can you tell me if we have to chat with the proctor before wiping the board - informing that I am now gonna wipe. This is for the 3 mandatory wipes mentioned in this thread.
Do we just need to show the wiped board or wipe in front of the camera? I was planning on keeping it similar to souvik so I would need to rethink this if I have to wipe in front of the camera.

Thanks.

Thank you for the suggestion. Does anyone want to start one? I am happy to do it. Just wondering if anyone wants to take the initiative and maintain it. I’m always happy to if no one jumps in ?
