Anyone have any idea why I can't sign up for another exam? It won't let me post the link but under GMAC Assessment exams it just says pre-approved exams and "you do not have any pre-approved exams at this time"

I was scheduled for 9/3 2:45pm online but it was cancelled for technical difficulties, then took it again at 4:30pm that day. Contacted Pearson since I thought maybe the system would be mistaken to think I took it twice already, and they said thats not the case. Then directed me to contact GMAC but I was put on voicemail.

The most likely problem is that you took the GMAT Online only 20 days ago, and there is an unannounced period of time that GMAC makes you wait before you can sign up for another GMAT Online exam--most likely to prevent you from seeing any of the same questions from your prior test.

That being said, you can see from my above posts that I took my first two GMAT Online exams only 20 days apart (6/3/20 and 6/23/20).

I have only taken it two times total, so I'm not sure why I still have issues. The unannounced time period would be bizarre, too. So frustrated with GMAC and the process. Any suggestions on what to do or who to contact? I've been planning to take it tomorrow or Friday online and would be bummed to postpone.

Appreciate everyone's help.

Thanks for the update, Hovkial!

It also appears that those of us who were hoping for an "unofficial score preview" immediately after the GMAT Online, like the one on the test-center GMAT and the At-Home GRE, are going to be disappointed yet again.



https://www.mba.com/frequently-asked-qu ... #question0


I keep my expectations very low for monopolistic organizations. Consumers are at the mercy of these entities.

The "unofficial score preview" may or may not arrive. The proctoring entity and GMAC have to certify the exam and that can be time-consuming if exams have accumulated in the review queues. If a score is displayed immediately and a testing issue is later discovered, then GMAC would have hard time explaining to testtakers. OTOH, the feature can also be implemented, but that would require investments by GMAC. So far they have lagged in this regard.

Regarding waiting times for online retakes: I believe that the official site states that a testtaker needs to wait for 16 calendar days to schedule a retake online from the last online test. But testtakers can schedule an in-center test (test at a physical testing center) independently of when they take the online test. Separate waiting times apply to the in-center tests.

Incorrect information continues to be displayed on the official GMAC site.

Please note that online exams now count toward your 5 times in a rolling 12-month period and 8 times in a lifetime limits.

... and of course all others following this thread.

Is it adviseable to either speed up quant slightly and use the last 2-3 minutes on the last online GMAT quant questions to just 'relax' and zone out for a couple of minutes? I also have the tendency to finish verbal quite early, so timing was never the issue.

I thus think about shaving the last 2-3 minutes off of quant and the first 3 minutes off of verbal to get at least somewhat of a break in. Recommendable?


I think the better move is to start taking practice tests in this way, so you can start to train for the lack of break provided with the online GMAT.

When I attempt to register for an online exam, it says:

"A price could not be found for the selected exam. Please contact customer service for further assistance."

Anyone else getting this?

There is no official standard for the wait time. At least not yet but usually it’s at least 15 days and most the time 20.

16 calendar days from today. Your GMAC account will tell you when you can register. If you register within that window, you will get an error.

Re: GMAT Online - What We Know [Master Topic] [#permalink] New post   27 Sep 2020, 08:11
Are online scores separately sendable from test center scores? Thinking about giving the GMAT online without pressure since I've already reached my target score in person. However, I was quite shaky on the quant section which caused me to make many mistake.

I feel like its worth doing it online, what I don't want however is to not be able to keep the same state of alertness and, eventually, completely bomb the online version which could then make the test center score look like a lucky strike to schools.

Experts advice ?

I daresay the online version of the GMAT has not seen a huge increase in cheating. At least nothing so far has been reported to that effect as far as I know haha.

In this article one thing that kind of throws a little shade at the GMAT is this one line (I've not read the entire article) - "The three main standardized tests required to apply for graduate or law school are the TOEFL (if you are a foreigner), GRE, and LSAT. "

GMAT did not even get a nod!

Agreed. Based off my own ancecdotal experiences taking the online, at-home versions of both the GRE and the GMAT (my first attempt at the GMAT Online was cancelled due to my "looking off screen" before the test had even begun), it certainly feels that that the GMAT Online's proctors and policies are more strict than those for the At-Home GRE.

Wow. Interesting. Thank you for sharing! And all this time we have been praising GRE for implementing a great testing system.... 🙄🤦‍♂️

Usually what happens next is a lot of scams pop-up offering to help cheat on the exam only to take one’s money and run away. There’s nothing man can do to catch them I’ll report them really. The Perfect crime.

Ignore that link, they are just magnetic sheets.
It would be better to go to an stationary shop and buy a board convenient for you.
