Re: GMAT Online - What We Know [Master Topic] [#permalink] New post   23 Jun 2020, 11:02
Hi all,
Hope you all are doing good.

I have concern of gmat at home vs at center , it would be appreciated if some one could give a point of view on the following:

1. Considering the current situation I understand and appreciate the option of having an online exam but is there a possibility that B schools may some time later ask a candidate to reattempt exam at center? as the online exam still does not have the AWA section.


2. This being a hypothetical situation: what if among two candidates who have both scored same i.e ( Q/V/IR) but one gave the exam online and the other at center , so is there a chance that person who gave exam at center may be distinguished as better?
Has any one raised this point to any ad com in recent?
Now since most of the centres have opened so is giving at center a better and safe option to go ahead with?

It would be appreciated if anyone could highlight or share their thoughts on the aforementioned points...

Random observation: did anyone yet notice that the IR calculator has gone from GMAC generic to the Texas Instruments "TI-108"?

Forgive me if this has been covered (there are thousands of comments on this thread), but I wondered if anyone else worried about the limit on taking GMAT online only once. I have a Sept 5 test scheduled in the test center, but if COVID closes that test center, that means I could potentially only have one shot at the GMAT (online) before most round 1 deadlines. Has anyone heard about GMAC potentially allowing folks to take the online GMAT more than once (not accounting for the physical whiteboard exception for people who took before that was allowed)? I can't get anyone at GMAC to even address this question in webinars or via email.

I think since 80's have come back in the pop culture (Stranger things, Trolls World Tour, etc), GMAC did not want to miss out on the trend :lol:

Anyone know why there are no weekend test dates available, at least from what I'm seeing in the US?

Only sunday is off.
Thus you will not get any slot on sunday.
However due to time zone differences, some place it's half saturday off while some have half monday off.


Strange...even for the new dates, I'm not seeing any availability on Saturdays.

Edit: I'm able to see August, but it looks like the slots are just in extremely high demand.

Hello Everyone,

Just a GMAT aspirant here.

Has a confusion regarding the use of corporate laptop for giving GMAT exam. The laptop is supporting the ONVUE software and it has the minimum hardware requirements as stated by GMAC for online GMAT.

Should I use this laptop for the exam or do I need to get a different one? Please suggest.

.Hi! Does anybody know whether I can use a napkin (I know gmac says to scratch paper, does gmac consider napkins, scratch paper???) to erase what I write on the physical whiteboard? I cant find any other way to erase what I write with a fine non permanent marker...

I'm more concerned about the whiteboard. Its more of a nuisance than a blessing.

The new rule says 'use your own physical whiteboard'. Does that mean we can use our own rough sheets ???

As it says - only whiteboards. No paper can be used. You are allowed the whiteboard, markers and an eraser. Anything else used to write is banned.

If I take the GMAT online can I also register for an in-person test a few days later, or do I have to wait the 16 calendar days still?

You can register a few days later or even on the next day but I don’t know that your score will be different ?

Yes you can. It is not counted against the regular exams.

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is in good health. I have a doubt, will Business schools still accept online GMAT score after 2-3 years? I know the online GMAT score has a validity of 5 years but still.

Yes.
All the Business Schools accept the score even if it is 2-3 years old.
As long as the score isn't expired, it works.
