Hi All,

I just completed my online GMAT yesterday. For a lot of questions, in both verbal and quant, there was a delay between my click and the selection showing up. A similar delay happened after clicking on the next question option as well. All in all, the response to click was not great. Did anyone else face similar issues? I just wanted to know if this has something to do with my internet connection or if it is an issue from the GMAT side.

Best,
Hanz

My girlfriend did the test about 3 weeks ago and had the exact same problem.

I faced the same issue today. At one question, I chose an option and it keep showing that you need to choose before you proceed. This wasted close to five minutes as later on I had to force shut my laptop. Moreover, when I continued, a new question was shown to me and not the old one. So I had to put in time to solve again.

Hi sg124,

I got a score of 720 (Q50 and V37). I was hoping to get a score of 740+. Mocks were in the range of 730-750. I am confused about whether to attempt one more online GMAT or to give one at the center. If this is a common issue, then I am leaning towards giving one at the center. Really disappointed with the GMAT online system though.

Haha I got a 720 (Q49, V40) too today. Even I was expecting 730-750. I think technical glitches are a part of the online exam

Hey All, Iwrote my Online Exam on Sinday and received a 710 (Q46, V41, IR8). Now I checked the mba portal and it says my official score report is out. However, it states that I got 0 in AWA. Obviously, that can't be correct. Do any of you have the same issue? Does it mean the score is not out yet or might there be a real issue?

This seems new. I assume you did not forget to type your essay … usually they would not release the score until the AWA was graded. I would go ahead and bug GMAT about it… I will contact the support. This does not seem right. There’s no harm in contacting them since this is pretty confusing.

Hi immensitas,

It can sometimes take up to a couple of weeks for the AWA from a Test Center-based GMAT to be graded, so it's possible that what you're looking at is NOT actually an Official Score Report for your recent At-home GMAT. An AWA of 0 would typically mean that you 'skipped' the Essay; assuming that you actually did write the Essay, it's possible that you either did not properly 'submit' your Essay at the end of the AWA section or that there was an technical error and it wasn't submitted (even though you wrote it and attempted to submit it). If the Essay-grading team simply hasn't gotten to your Essay yet, then you might not have anything to worry about - but if you still see a 0 for your AWA in a few days, then you should reach out to Customer Support to ask.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Unfortunately, the "zero on AWA" scoring bug / glitch has persisted for several years, and is apparently more prevalent than GMAC would like to admit.

https://gmatclub.com/forum/received-a-0 ... 79992.html

https://gmatclub.com/forum/awa-score-0- ... 79991.html

https://gmatclub.com/forum/awa-score-is ... 75329.html

I also had a private student encounter this bug after requesting an official rescore on their essay (their original score was 4.5): https://gmatclub.com/forum/has-anyone-e ... 46007.html

The good news is that as far as I know, in every case the problem has eventually been resolved by GMAC—even if it can sometimes take weeks.

After all, the only way you should receive an AWA score of zero (0/6 in half-point increments, which is 0% according to GMAC) is if you had skipped the AWA entirely and thus written no essay at all—or perhaps written the essay in a language other than English, situations that I doubt apply in your case.

Please do keep us updated...

Hey,

I have come across the same issue. Please let me know if you have reached out to GMAC regarding this or are you waiting for a few more days. GMAT online is turning into a nightmare :?

Just sharing my experience, I took the GMAT online yesterday. I took it on an internet connection with 40 Mbps speed as tested on fast.com. During the test I had zero glitches, and I had a really kind proctor. I seem to be in the minority here with a smooth experience, but I do think maybe the internet speed might play some role in it?

On the other hand, I got a 730 on the online exam, while was getting 740, 760 and 760 on mocks. I did find the quant questions more difficult than the mocks, and froze on some questions as I had no idea how to answer.

Hi Jazpants,

The GMAT Online does need a stable connection, but 40 Mbps is much more than the minimum recommended speed (2 Mbps, symmetric). Some people have measured the amount of data used by the earlier version of the GMAT Online, and I think the current version may use at most twice as much data (maybe 3 GB?).

Agreed, 40Mbps is probably way over the requirements! Just sharing what worked for me. Also, I am generally lucky to have a stable connection, with latency of around 38 ms and no noticeable disconnections through the day.

Is it confirmed that the secure browser works with the Home-version of Windows 10?

Posted from my mobile device

And one more question: Will the test screen have the same size even if my screen is huge (29"). I wonder because its much harder to read on a big screen.
Can confirm both. Secure browser works with Win 10 Home. And the test window will cover the entire screen. However, this did not affect my performance. Actually I did not even think about the text size on RC passages. The passage is quite concentrated to a smaller part of the screen.

Hello guys.
I took GMAT online on 17 July and although I had some technical issues (i.e. Verbal froze twice, restarted my PC twice etc), I confirmed with Examity that my exam was successfully completed. (The auditor have already approved my exam.)
However, my account status classifies my attempt as a "technical error". Have anyone experienced the same issue? I emailed Customercare but no reply so far. I am still waiting for the official score report, but I’m a bit worried GMAC might cancel my score.

Many thanks.
