Hi

I can give an online first and follow it up with an offline right after (or vice-versa), like in a gap of 5-6 days ? The 16 day rule doesn't apply right ?

As part of a MBA application, the school is asking for my 'GMAT score report - test taker copy' to be uploaded.
As far as I know, with the online exam we are not given a physical copy of our score report to upload, or am I missing something? Do we take a screenshot of our score from the mba/gmac website?
TIA for any advice

I took the GMAT online this past weekend and during the verbal section the test froze on the last 4 questions which were part of an RC. My time left went from 4minutes and change to 1 minute and 10 seconds after they unfroze the exam causing me to guess on the last 4 which definitely impacted my score. I reported the incident to Pearson and they've created a case.

Has anyone had any similar scenarios and what the outcome was after the investigation?

Hi. There is no "unofficial score report" for the GMAT Online in a PDF form or printout or anything like that.
Just go to the mba.com profile and use Print or CTRL+P and save as PDF. I would not do a screenshot personally but I am sure that will work too since there is no "standard" format per se.

Hi. Sorry about the issue with the freeze. We have had a few people report a similar situation including one time when a person had their test freeze and the proctor said they don't see any issues. It was frustrating.... but I am not sure or aware of any resolutions that may have happened. I hope you get a free re-test. At the same time, unless it was a short passage, 4 mins would be insufficient for me to read a passage and answer 4 questions :dazed so I am not sure how much this actually would have affected my score. I would be guessing them to a large extent after spending 2 mins on the passage and 30 secs per question...

Hello there.
I just took my online gmat exam last week, i was also bit nervous and felt scared after reading some topics.
But it was not as bad as i imagined, i have faced some technical difficulties, such as checking in a little bit late, also when check in with protocol is done, i faced some issues, i felt also bit awkward when i look into cameras it was taking picture of me, thought i might look like doing something wrong.
Overall, i think it was not nervous when i was at test center, it was quite comfortable.

Sir, can you please clear my doubt regarding GMAT online.

How much gap (in days) should be there between an online GMAT exam and an offline GMAT exam?

Interested to hear others experiences with online vs in-person gmat. Took the online test and then panic booked an in-person test for the next day (originally had wanted to do in person but had shown no dates available at all when I looked). I scored 90 points better on my in-person test. Seems crazy to have such a difference between two tests so closely scheduled.
