GMAT Online - What We Know [Master Topic]

Boldfalce without bold parts? Now, that's just unacceptable...

Makes one think on the accuracy and veracity of the online exam. But for many people, the test center is simply not an option because of rising number of cases. No other choice than the online version. Hopefully GMAC looks into these issues.

Did the guy who got the weird bold face face any technical issue during his exam?

Is anyone else angry because we don't get an unofficial score as soon as we finish the online gmat exam?

In-person question:

Instructions advise I get to the testing center 30 min early. However, I have a 6:30am test. Do you think that's really necessary?

Thanks in advance.

I am talking about creating a new account with new details.

Lol! I Want them not to notice. GMAC account is up and running as we speak with only 3 details the same as old account- Name, Nationality & DOB. Shoot me with questions, WE WANT TO MAKE THIS WORK.

GMAC has clearly anticipated this work-around, so tread lightly: trying to take the GMAT Online exam under an alternate mba.com account is an offense that sure to get you banned from taking the GMAT, potentially ruining your chances for admission at an elite b-school.

I once tried to create an additional mba.com account as an experiment, and although I was successful, GMAC eventually merged the two accounts, so now I can log in under either account and see all my test-center GMAT scores from the last 5 years, as well as my GMAT Online scores.

That being said, I wouldn't try to take the GMAT Online under an alternate account, even if it worked, since that's unethical and disallowed by the exam rules. Even if no one noticed right away, you would have to be looking over your shoulder constantly.

Considering that all exams are fully recorded, photo IDs are verified and tied to your real identity, and facial recognition software is used, you are highly likely to get caught, so I would strongly advise you to think twice before trying this particular experiment--assuming that you aren't already kidding in the first place.

As others have already noted, just try to stay patient and wait for updates from GMAC in the coming weeks: with the pandemic not going away anytime soon, GMAT Online retakes seem inevitable.

I took GMAT Online around a month back and got screwed up. GMAC is not allowing a second attempt for GMAT Online. I want to create a new account with different email id and contact number to utilize the GMAT Online. Since Driving Licence is a valid ID for GMAT Online, I plan to use that.

My questions are-

1. Has anybody tried it? Please share the experience.
2. What can be the consequences?
3. Experts, your thoughts on the probability of getting through it successfully?

I do not wish to give GMAT @ centre because I am not comfortable with all the face shield and mask. Note that I wear glasses.

How does the photo upload process work during check in for online GMAT ? Can you transfer the photos from your phone using google drive and you use the drive ( if allowed to open ) to upload ? Or should it be a physical USB connection from you phone to your PC to upload your photos ?

I have my online exam tomorrow and had a few last-minute doubts.

• Since I keep the whiteboard to the left of the laptop, I would be constantly looking away from the computer(or turning my head). Is this ok? Or should I keep the whiteboard in front of the laptop so that I look down? Please let me know what you did.
  
• I tend to play around with the marker or shift around in my chair while I am thinking. Is this allowed? This sounds silly but I read that a student was warned for covering his mouth(he was probably propping his chin with his hands - I also tend to do that).

The ones who have already taken the exam, please give your inputs. Also, any other advice or tips would be appreciated.

Yes, a simple advice would be to avoid any unnecessary suspicious activity that may raise red flags. Try to not look away from screen and board- so keep the board as much in sight as possible and not out of sight. Murmuring is also not appreciated. Understand from proctor's perspective. Anything in your own home environment that could raise suspicion. Also be wary of making unwanted noises. Good luck!

Stretching a lil bit, and normal face gestures or flipping of markers etc shouldn't be a problem, as long as you are not out of frame.
Thanks in advance.
