Update: As an experiment, I tried to use my voucher for the test-center GMAT instead (next available test date in California: July 27), but it did not work.

I did not expect the $200 voucher to cover the entire $275 test fee, but I thought maybe I would be given the option to receive a $200 discount and pay the remaining balance. Apparently not--although this was not indicated in my original email, the voucher code only works for the GMAT Online.

On my next GMAT Online attempt (early June), I will make sure to never, ever look off screen!

Hi everyone, firstly thank you all for the great support and information that you've provided throughout this process - its been really helpful!

I have 2 quick questions that I couldnt really find answers to when searching the forums and watching the related Youtube videos:

1. I understand that the use of an external monitor is prohibited, and that the software you install will actually disable any external monitor you have attached if you are using a laptop. My question is rather pedantic, but I would like to take the test with my laptop and an external monitor - with my laptop screen disabled. I'd like to be able to take the test on my much bigger external monitor, and still have my laptop open, just underneath the monitor with its webcam pointed at me so that I'm visible to the proctor and able to use the keyboard - but the actual screen of the laptop will be off - would this setup be acceptable?

2. I understand that the online test does not count towards he 12-month and lifetime limitations in terms of the number of times you are allowed to take it. However, how does it factor in regarding the frequency limits, i.e. the limit of taking tests at least 15 days apart? If I take the online test on the 1st of June, would I have to wait 15 days until the 16th of June to re-take it at a test center (assuming they open in my region)?

Thanks very much for the help!


Hi TWIC the answer would be no to both questions I believe.

You cannot have anything but your laptop in the table, if you had a docking station I guess it may do, but even if you have the laptop screen off when you begin, you could turn it on pressing a key. I'm not sure but would say it is a no, it is a **** that we have to do the exam in a 12, 13 o 15" screen but that is what it is.

For your second point, there is no time constrain, you could virtually take the Online GMAT and the GMAT at a Test Center on the same day ;)

Regards,
Pablo

Hi everyone, I hope everybody is safe. I will be taking online GMAT on May 28. Do you think my official results will be available on June 8? I have an interview on June 9, but I need my results for it. It says within 7 days, but is there anyone who received earlier than 7 days?

Thanks!


Hi EcemEmur,

Good Luck with your coming Exam.

The results took a little bit longer than 7 business days in the beginning but recent posts by various users indicate that the results are sent out much sooner than 7 business days.
A friend of mine who gave his Online GMAT on 5th May received his result on 8th May.
So it is very likely that you receive your results within the following week (by 5th of June).

I admit it was too much to read, so I'll ask this stupid question but how does GMAC make sure no one uses their Internet while taking the Online Gmat?


Hi DanielEMZ,

The GMAT Online is conducted on a separate browser called onVUE, and one cannot access any other application throughout the exam as long as onVUE is running. Unless you are some computer geek who can bypass all of the security measures without being detected, it is not possible to access internet in the same computer. Honestly, anyone willing to take the exam seriously wouldn't risk such a thing.
As for using any other device, be aware that the entire exam is recorded and is then perhaps reviewed by someone or some software to make sure that the exam taker is not violating any of the exam rules. Only after this reviewing process, the scores are sent out.

Click “Begin Exam” and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the check-in process
Once you have completed the check-in process you will be contacted by a Proctor to begin your exam.

I believe it does mean that you should read again if you still have doubts. Someone's will can change many things but that is pretty clear.
If you read a bit more you will understand why it should not be so frustrating. Bombing it is something that can happen to any of us.

Good luck with your study and your next attempt!

Hi, I'm taking tomorrow the online gmat, I guess I'm being paranoid but has anyone experienced issues with having a large window on the testing room?

My idea is to seat giving the back to the window so I can have more natural light and won't see any bird or the neighbors across, also the proctor would be able to see it through the webcam. I was checking everything tonight and the "walled room" word gave me some doubts...

Regards,
Pablo


I had a window in the room that I was giving the test in and it was not an issue. That said, I did not have my back against the window but don't expect it to be a problem as long as the proctor can see your face properly and there isn't a strong glare. Is there a way you can move the desk in a way that the window is on the side instead of directly behind you?

Thank you. About the "walled room" issue, can I place my desk in front of a closet, which is grey and has no pictures on it? The closet looks like a wall. I don't have a comfortable place in front of the wall.



Also, remember not to have the closed "within arms reach", so allegedly you should need to leave the camera to access anything in it.

Regards,
Pablo


Thank you for your response. Since the close will be behind my back, technically I can reach it, but if I try to reach it, the proctor will immediately see it. Do you think it will be a problem?



I do not think it will be a problem, from what I heard proctors are reasonable and cool.

Best of luck tonight!

Gotcha, I think I saw in the interview with Vineet from GMAC that they had plans to integrate the online score in official report if people wish to do so but perhaps that's still under conideration.

I would certainly hope and expect that this is not true–-I have several private students who have chosen to take the GMAT Online specifically because the score is NOT indicated on the test-taker score report, which is now requested by some business schools as part of the application process (and because it does not count toward the yearly limit of 5 GMAT attempts).

Without the option to cancel scores on the online exam, it would be unfair for GMAC to suddenly reverse course and start including the GMAT Online scores on the test-taker score report, so I highly doubt that this will happen.

Thus, those who have lower scores on the GMAT Online should rest assured that they are in control of these scores, and that business schools will not see the scores unless the applicant chooses to send them (GMAC is offering unlimited free score sends for the online exam).


From what I understood, it was only meant to be the case for the test takers who wished to have their Online GMAT scores included in the official report, not for everyone in general so in any case those who don't want their Online GMAT score to appear in the official report can have it that way.

I took the online exam yesterday. the proctor checked my environment before I started (I had a window to my right and proctor asked me to close the curtain) the exam went smoothly afterward besides the fact that whenever I tried to press "z", notes on my whiteboard were replaced with my previous notes, so I avoided using the button afterward.

Thanks for sharing Roonsta! Sorry about the score :(

Did you feel anything in particular threw you off? I know that the feeling of confidence and the feeling of "this is easy" is not a good feeling for the score. That's the opposite of what I naturally expect and I had a very opposite feeling of "i screwing up every question" as I had no condidence at all in my answers. I thought I would end up with a 650 or 600 or smth like that but saw a 750 on the screen and quite surprised with the score. I don't know what to say but something did not go as planned it seems :-(

Thanks for the emotional support bb :lol: :)

I am not sure what could've went wrong! I think perhaps the RC was disastrous, but I'll never know b/c no ESR.

I get what you mean by feeling you did bad and then doing well, too. I actually posted about this, but when I got my 710, I thought I was doing bad, my mocks were ~660, and voila I see a 710! Still, my mocks didn't really support this Online GMAT 670 and I have done nothing but GMAT lately, so it's confusing.

I'm actually retaking it next week, in a physical test center, so I can really hone in on what's wrong via an ESR.

Huh... very weird about Verbal. I would retake of it is THAT much of a difference. I guess only in person but I suspect GMAC may further provide some clarifications and whether they are extending or shutting down the ONLINE version on the 15th. I suspect should happen this coming week.

Hi I got my score about my Online GMAT and has been quite surprising, I got a Q50 despite having multiple issues with the whiteboard and not being able to write much (I could not type the ^ symbol, had the "y" deleting my text and printing random figures).

I was quite discouraged because even if at the beginning I saw the difficulty increasing, and I struggled a bit with the timing, the second half seemed easier, so I was expecting way less.

The bad surprise has been my verbal score of 28, only one day that I was sick in bed I had that score and my regular and official tests have been between 35 and 42.
Definitely I had time issues on Verbal and I thought that my Quant was crap, but was not expecting such a low grade.

I will point the stress generated by the whiteboard as the main stress generator, but being honest I also think I should have better managed it and I would have been able to get my expected +700 or a 700 at least with a regular low score.
Maybe a break between Quant and Verbal would have been helpful to reduce the stress, or starting with Verbal, that would be my choice to maximize my scores, I wrote to GMAT suggesting those improvements, but I do not see that anything can be made of my bad result.

I will be taking it again in a test center in a week or so and see how it goes.

Pablo

Hey Guys

Can some of you please share how long it took to get your scores for 'Gmat Online'?

Posted from my mobile device


Hey, I did get yesterday afternoon an email from GMAC stating that my GMAT Online score was already available, I took the exam on the 27th afternoon. Regardless of the email, my score was available in my mba.com account from the 30th morning (2 days before the email), so I would say that now they are taking 3-5 days to provide it instead of the 7 business days they could.

Some people reported delayed availability for issues during the exam, if you do not get it within 7 business days contact GMAC.
