Oh man. That’s rough. Sorry to hear about the proctor experience. Thankfully IR does not matter so you could have just flipped him off 😂

I was disturbed by my proctor thrice during verbal section stating reasons such as I am not visible on the webcam (on the contrary, I could clearly see myself) and I am mumbling.(I wasn't mumbling, I literally just had my lips moving with no sound at all) The proctor disturbed me and threatened me to cancel my exam. This further led to spoiling my verbal section real bad as I panicked and lost my time too as the chatbox kept opening on screen.

Wow, just took my first GMAT online. It seriously kicked my butt, and my proctor was incredibly strict. I guess I was silently mouthing something in the math section, and he sent a chat message that interrupted the test for me saying I shouldn't mumble or talk out loud. Then, in verbal, as I was being careful not to mouth as I was reading, he messaged again, messaging that I shouldn't mumble (I wasn't), and then during IR, I had 3 problems to go and took a big breath, at which point he messaged again saying it was my final warning. Once more, and my score would be canceled.

The chat messages really threw off my concentration and momentum, and especially because I vocalized NOTHING, and only the first time was I actually perhaps mouthing anything.

The threat to cancel my score when I had 3 problems left in IR made me furious.

Does that mean I should reschedule the exam at center?

After hearing the reviews of so many people, I have scheduled my exam offline. Don't want to take any risks.

Yes it's totally your call. I had a lot of other concerns as well, about technical issues, exam environment etc. plus the reviews of people here really worried me. So just gonna give it the conventional way :)

As a reminder, it is easy to get a high score on AWA :cool: https://gmatclub.com/forum/how-to-get-6 ... 64327.html

And while it takes an extra half an hour, that does not always mean it will wear you out. There is some value in doing it upfront and earning your brain up 😂

Hey thanks for the resource! It is indeed helpful.
What order do you suggest for the test day then? Should I start with AWA?

How long are GMAT online scores generally taking to post for folks nowadays? Official messaging says 7 business days, but my account says it could take up to 20 days if they need to verify something or there is an issue. Took it on Saturday 12/5, got another scheduled 12/23, but would really like results ASAP on the 12/5 test, as it would help me focus toward 12/23...

Hi - I took the test at a center today and completely bombed it. Significantly lower than my mocks and even lower that my baseline test pre-studying. I have really bad test anxiety, which definitely was a factor. As such I am debating taking it at home 2 days from now. Do I have to wait 16 days in between the test center and online versions? Or can I go ahead and take it?

Hello. You can go ahead and take your online attempt. There isn't any requirement to wait for 16 days between two modes. Hope you will overcome your anxiety and do well. All the best :)

Funny that I would write that post. I just got results, but my mba.com account is freezing up and won't display my percentages.


Did you get the score you wanted? Is that the 660 you have on the profile or this is a new one?

Hey,

does anybody know whether you can truly choose between the regular gmat and the online gmat? My regular GMAT exam at a test center got cancelled for no reason (at least they did not state a specific reason) and there were no test dates available for December so that I had to opt for the GMATonline.

However, I just read on the mba website that in order to be eligible to take the GMATonline, Test Centers MUST be closed, which is not the case in my region. Can anyone confirm that I am eligible to take the GMATonline? All other information published by gmac sounds as if the GMAT online does not depend on test center closures...

Thanks in advance!

Hi. The mba. com has some conflicting information (some of it is not updated timely and some of it is outdated while some pages just seem to disappear at times).
Yes, anyone can schedule a GMAT Online regardless of your test center status in your local area with exception of a few exotic countries.

ALso, you do not have to wait to take the GMAT Online and can take it same day or next day as your test-center based exam, and many people do take these right away back to back, some with success.

Quote from mba.com:
Quote:
The GMAT™ Online exam is available in most locations, with the exception of: Mainland China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Sudan due to regulatory and local data privacy rules.

Hi - I had a question regarding the rescheduling of my online exam (4 days left).

Can I reschedule my Online GMAT to Test-Center in Bangalore, India? If yes, so what fee is applicable? Since I see $25 for rescheduling online whereas $150 for rescheduling in-person (less than 14 days left).

Thanks for the reply bb

Another question - I have read the Pre-Testday Checklist and found it incredibly helpful. Is there anything to do before the actual testday? I know that I have to run the check on the mba website, but do I also have to download anything or run a check from OnVue Proctoring?

Thanks again for any help! I appreciate it!

I am not sure that rescheduling will allow you to give the exam at the center when you scheduled an appointment for the online test.
If you want to give an in-person exam you have to cancel your online appointment and schedule for an offline one. (if only you don't want to give the exam both ways)

Hey

I have a couple of questions.

If i say take the gmat online and mess it, can i take the offline exam before the 16 day limit.
Is the sequence true even if i take the gmat offline first and mess it.

The 16 day limit only applies between 2 consecutive GMAT Offlines ?
In this 16 day limit one can give multiple onlines ?
