That should mostly work out in our favour. So if someone is to file a petition and take things forward, I am sure a lot of hands will come in and join the same. Please keep the forum posted regarding this, so that there can be an update. Also, please let us know whether anybody has started the petition. Else, we can as well do the same.

Regards,
Chandrahas

Interesting. I was under the impression anyone could take it. I can see however that they may preclude certain people who could easily take it as a test center from taking it but then they will have to keep policing all the regulations and things change too fast.

Hi bb
Gmac mentions that
"Pearson VUE Test centers in the country you currently reside must be closed due to COVID-19 (coronavirus)" in the Policies and Procedures for Gmat Online under the "Before Your Exam
Step 1. Gather Information" section
But most of the test centres in my city are already open.Will i not be able to take the online gmat?

I see a lot of us posting on here about how GMAT should allow for us to take the exam at home more than once. I agree 100% with this sentiment. But what about the schools? Should they really be requiring test scores this year? Reason I ask this is because I know that the BAR in Washington state has been stopped all together and lawyers are able to get certified regardless.

IMO everyone needs to be flexible during this time.

I just read on the Mba.com website regarding the same. I am surprised to see that there actually is a statement which quotes such. But I am not sure how far it is going to be the case, if GMAC was to announce retakes.

Does GMAC send an email to inform you about your Gmatonline scores? Or do you have to keep checking your dashboard?

You will get an email from GMAC with the subject "Your official GMAT Online Exam Score is Now Available" to your registered email address. Then you can go ahead and check your scores in mba.com site.

The waiting time between exam completion time and receiving the result is very unnerving. All the very best for your GMAT Score :thumbsup: . Do keep us posted.

Hello. I recieved my GMAT scores today and I am in total shock. I got a 640. I have never gotten below 710 on any official mock and I was sure of seeing hard questions on the exam. Can gmat make a mistake with the scores ?

The scoring algorithm is the same as the real exam, so your score is accurate. I have constantly scored 760 on my practice mocks but scored a 720 on my online exam. Sadly, some people simply performs worse on the real exam.

Hi,

I am sorry to hear that your Gmat score was not at your expected level. Normally one can expect 30 to 40 point difference between the Real exam and Mock exam. I cannot think of a way that GMAT scoring algorithm might be wrong, probably its just did not workout for you that day. Keep up the motivation and hope GMAC allows retake soon for GMAT Online.

All the best

Probably. But I remember seeing extremely hard questions on the exam, anyways what done is done now. I hope that they allow retakes so I can give it another shot.

No you cannot use Aadhar card. If you have passport that would be great. I think valid driver license can also work. Please verify that.

Aadhar card will not work probably. As Ayush said, a valid driving license might come in handy. However, a passport is the best shot.

I do not think Aadhar card would be an acceptable form of ID Proof but not sure. If the Proctor allocated to you is not from India (Not sure about proctor allocation as well) he might not be aware of Aadhar card. Please have your Passport handy just in case to be safe.

You have only one hour to the exam, so its better to go with safe choice which is passport here and have clear and peaceful mind before the exam. All the best for your exam.
