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

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)

Do you reckon the following whiteboard sheet will be permitted?

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.

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.

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


Bjartskular wrote:
bb That's because the rules have changed now.

You are allowed two markers now. Yay! :)

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


bb wrote:
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 ?

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.

bb : I think creating a new discussion for Gmat online-physical board can be useful.



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 ?

I have bought quite a few erase markers from Amazon so far. But I do not think their tips are fine enough. Could anyone recommend one or two genuine fine-tip erases?

Thanks!

Re: GMAT Online - What We Know [Master Topic] [#permalink] New post   12 Jun 2020, 17:18
What'a really frustrating is that if GMAC doesn't release my online GMAT score say till mid-July, in another two weeks, then I would not have the chance to retake the GMAT online exam. Given the shut down around the country, if I'm not able to find an available slot for the offline testing, basically I can't even apply for Round One this year. GMAC / Pearson's representatives basically said it's not their problem and they have no idea why I didn't receive the score in 10 days, and the worst part is that a retake will not be available for me until further notice . GMAC should really put a little more effort in its customer support division...

I just ordered these to test them out: Ultra Fine Tip (I think you actually want better than just Fine tip based on the gradation)
https://amazon.com/1884309-Low-Odor-Mar ... B00I8OBAOU




Upon reading your reply, I almost placed the order right away... but I clicked on "4-count" option box and was told that "You purchased this item on April 8, 2020." Within that package, their tips are not particularly fine, let alone ultra fine.

Please let us know your experience with the 8-count version. Maybe I have unrealistic expectations of fine tips.

souvik101990 : What was the division? Was the quant or verbal any harder or difficult than in your previous attempts? Was it easier with the physical board? Is showing the whiteboard on video at all time necessary? Any other peculiar thing?

Update: I booked my first GMAT-online exam on 7th June. Gave the exam on 9th June. Got the result on 11th June.
And I can now (13th June) see the option to book a new GMAT-online exam
So for me, the time between each step has been perfect.

Hi Everyone,

Just received my Online gmat (with physical whiteboard) score.
First of all, feeling sorry for guys who are waiting for scores to come out. Hold on tight guys!!!

I attempted my test on 11th 11:45am Japan Standard Time and received scores today 13th 6:13am. So, that's around 40hours after completion of the test. Pretty fast !!!!

The proctor told me before exam that I was the first one to take the test with physical whiteboard. Was expecting a delayed release on my score considering the changed format, but that was quicckkkkkk.

Scored 770 (Q50 V45).

It has been a wonderful (and painful) experience of 9 months prep and over 25 mocks ( I lost the count midway).

One of my best friend reddy10d scored the same score last week.
We prepared together for this and now sharing a beer with a huge smile on our faces. So happy and relieved this is over.

I will let this feeling sink in for this weekend and will post my debrief soon.
Btw, great story coming up soon from reddy10d .

Cheers,

Congrats to everybody on their amazing scores on the physical whiteboard exam so far!

I'm now hearing from other GMAT test-takers that they have now been able to re-register for the physical whiteboard exam, regardless of when they took their last (pre-physical whiteboard) exam, and that retest dates are available to these students as soon as Monday 6/15.

Thus, it appears that the required duration between GMAT Online exams (online whiteboard and physical whiteboard) might be closer to 10-12 days than the 14-16 days originally predicted.
