Hey bb only the first link will work, the second already generated the unique access code so once one test is done properly won't work again ;)

Hi Guys,

When I tried the System test (via the "System test" link from GMAT official website , I got an error message " We're sorry, but something went wrong.". It doesn't give me any hint of what was wrong...

Any idea?

Many thanks


I don't think it actually works for anyone.... and I don't think it ever worked. If you want to do a system test, there is a different link :-)

Here is a working link: https://home.pearsonvue.com/oracle/onvue and then click system test


Or maybe this one will work: https://service.proctorcam.com/system_t ... ORACLE#top

Thx. I removed the second link. The first one should still work, just click the system test afterwards.

hi guys, I used the whiteboard yesterday on Manhattanpreps website (they are providing it with their mocks). I was super pissed about the whole whiteboard sham cus honestly, I take A LOT of notes. I even jot down details while reading word problems, POE on verbal, basic math calculations (i know bad, but yeah). Anyway, the whiteboard has a text feature (im attaching the SC here). The fact that you can type on the whiteboard makes the problem 50% better for me. Even tho I will still not risk it - just sharing it for those who need to urgently take the paper.

PS I personally didn't know you could type on the whiteboard with that much ease. I thought it would majorly only have the laptop touchpad usage. Hence sharing :)

Here some examples of what can be done with geometry, the main issue I would say that is the "move" function, as it recognises everything that it is drawn as a single object, so you cannot adjust figures if you want them to overlap, etc.



It is quite easy though to draw these figures with the current whiteboard capabilities.

My experience of taking a GRE practice test while I've always been studying for GMAT:

I've been studying for GMAT so far, and my score is around 720-730 (Q50, V37-38). Yesterday I went to GRE website and took one of their practice tests (they have two free tests). This was my first GRE experience. I skipped the two writing parts and directly went to the Verbal and Quant.
I found GRE's Quant much easier than GMAT's. Surprisingly, I got all 40 Quant questions correct without any timing problem (this has never ever happened to me in GMAT that I can get all 31 questions correct on time, I usually have at least a few questions wrong). The GRE software gave me a Quant score of 170.

GMAT quant questions are overall are trickier than GRE's and it's much easier to make mistakes in GMAT. While GRE's questions were more superficial and not as deep in terms of content or hiding something that makes you get something wrong. I'd say the hardest Q questions that I saw in this practice test were in the range of 680-720 in GMAT quant. So imo if everyone is thinking about switching to GRE, you will be just fine and even better off in Quant if you have been preparing for GMAT.

The problem, however, with GRE, at least for me, was their verbal vocabulary questions. I got virtually all vocab questions wrong!! My score was 152 in verbal, which is much lower in terms of percentile compared to 37-38 of GMAT.
The GRE verbal I'd say has three parts: RC, which was similar to GMAT's RC. CR, which was easier than GMAT CR. And Vocab questions, which I found them very hard as someone who has never studied this sort of high level English vocab. The vocabs are much more advanced than what we usually see in the RC, books, news like NY, economist, etc.


So in summary, I'd say the only noticeable difference between GMAT and GRE is vocab questions. In quant section you will do just fine. I'd say if you've been scoring 48-51 in GMAT quant, there is a high chance that you will get a perfect 170 in GRE quant. Those muscles that you've built for GMAT Quant will easily smash the GRE questions.
As for verbal, RC and CR are the same. There is no SC in GRE. Instead you will have a bunch of vocab questions. If english is your first language or if you think you're good in this part, don't hesitate to try to take a GRE test. You may perform even better in GRE overall.

As for me, since I don't have time to start reading the vocab, I'm gonna just stick to GMAT and wait until centers are open and then I will take a GMAT. I think my 720-730 GMAT would probably be better than a 322 in GRE.

At a score of 322 you are above 75% of universities averages. A 720 may not take you so far on gmat (esp if you are Indian) but a 322 will get you into the top 10. Go to clear admit and check out their live wire. Also try the decision tracker on gmat club.

P.S don’t trust the gre powerprep software. It’s much easier than the actual exam. I was scoring 166 and ended up with a 159. Another person I know was scoring 167 and ended up with 155. The actual GRE is much harder and time consuming. Also, if you can spend 2 weeks on the text completion section then you will see that most qs are context driven not vocab driven.

It’s your choice and if you can wait for 6 months and give the gmat at a test center then of course go for that. But don’t discount the GRE esp because you used the gre to gmat converter. GRE average scores are a lot diff in universities that GMAT.

Hi ari.banerjee,ZM308,
I have appeared for the GRE and have a 325(q:165,v:160). I second ari.banerjee and carcass. I did not find the powerprep to be an accurate reflection of my score. I would also add that I found the first ETS mock to be quite easy and the second to mimic the exam better than the first one. I found the Manhattan GRE to be an accurate assessment. I ended up scoring 323 and 324 in my final 2 mocks and scored 325 on test day.

I was wondering on how to pick colleges based on a GRE score. How does that work for over represented categories like the Indian IT Male? Any leads on how colleges perceive GRE scores for this category?

Thank You!

This is going to sound quite contrarian given my username but I agree with the couple of users who have mentioned the text feature on the online whiteboard as a big plus.

For those that are much better/faster typers than note takers, I would almost state that the online whiteboard provides a big edge for the verbal section.

Hi guys,

I am located in Vienna and was actually aiming to do the exam around end of May. I checked available dates on Vienna's test center on mba.com and it provides dates in May. Considering the fact that school are supposed to continue their classes there is a high chance that there should be no legal reason not do to the GMAT at a test centre.
Do I have to wait until mid-June to book an appointment if I would like to avoid the "GMAT online", or is it possible to do the regular test earlier in case the test center allows?

Thanks

You can book an in-center appointment now if there's availabilities. I registered for an exam on May 2nd in Boston a few days ago. But there is a high chance that they will cancel it as we get closer to the date. I had another appointment for April 18th, which they cancelled it a while back. So for your case if you think the virus is being controlled and businesses will open by the end of May in Vienna, you should be able to register for an exam now if there's any availabilities.

Anyone else receiving errors when trying to register for this? It's saying that my profile is not filled out with my first/last name, phone, etc.

Hey,

I got the same thing. Just fill your address and contact information again in your profile. It should be fine.

What is the format you use for Phone Country Code? I updated it (to be 1), but registration system still shows the following error message:

Your profile missed below fields for online GMAT exam
Phone Country Code

Hey zhanbo,

I am from India so I have used 91. The updating process is quite crappy and takes a while to get updated on your profile page. Once you see it updated on the left side of your "my account" page only then you can start the registration process. It took me quite a while. Keep trying. I feel that this online GMAT registration is a bit rushed without proper due diligence. Very bad from GMAC's side.

Same buddy! i have the exact same problem!

Same here. Does anyone know what to do?

Due to the impact of COVID-19 on test center locations around the world, we are offering a GMAT online alternative exam to test takers. Join us on Friday, April 24 at 1:00pm BST to learn more about the details of the online exam.

This webinar is for candidates who will take the interim Online GMAT to apply to graduate business programs. Topics will include:

• Alternative exam structure and scoring
• Test registration pricing and process
• Computer requirements and test security
• Test preparation recommendations

This is your opportunity to have your questions answered by the makers of the GMAT exam.


Hopefully we can ask questions again and they provide more news.

Regards,
Pablo

Couple of questions for the online GMAT:

1) The room does not need to be empty right? Is it sufficient if no folders, books etc. are not in "hands reach"? They were quite unclear about the room requirements...

2) When I open the OnVue software to run my systems check, it says "You have lost your internet connection. OnVue is disabled unter your connection is restored". Does anyone have an idea what to do? Is the reason maybe that I am sitting in an "office" and use a corporate wifi network?

3) What happens if the wifi breaks down in the middle of the test? Free re-scheduling or will the test just be invalid and money wasted? Cause if I cant take the test in the office wifi, I have to rely on my very unreliable wifi at home...

4) Has anyone actually managed to do a systems check on a Macbook and can tell me what they had to adjust in system preferences? I do not even find the OnVue software listed when I want to allow microphone and camera use as stated by GMAC.

I went to my GMAC account to check for the available dates. I had booked an exam date earlier and wanted to explore the online exam option. While the appointments section shows no upcoming dates, the online GMAT tab has a 'pre approved exam' link.

I clicked it and first couple of screens had standard disclaimers similar to those one sees in real exam. So did not go through as i felt an exam might begun.

Can anyone help with this? I am a bit confused here. I had thought one need to pick a date for the online exam.

Touchscreen laptop and stylus - Update
I just received an e-mail from the official GMAC customer center (Shira Stein) and they stated that no stylus is allowed BUT we can use our fingers to tap on the touchscreen and write notes. The e-mail stated: "you will be able to use the touchscreen with your finger, you will not be able to use a stylus".

But in the GMAT Club video "GMAT Online: Latest GMAT Updates - All in one place and FAQ" they state the exact opposite. Quite frankly, I don't know who is right and who is wrong.
Any thoughts? :dazed :dazed

This is so strange - It gives folks who own a touchscreen laptop an advantage over those who don't!
