Hey guys, just to update everyone who does not know already, GMAT is geared up to conduct an at-home online test from mid April.
The excerpt from mba.com is as follows:-
"Interim GMAT™ Exam - Available Online Mid-April
We all recognize this is a challenging time for testing with test center closures around the world. To help you, we are preparing an alternative GMAT™ exam available online.
This interim GMAT exam will provide a comparable structure, number of items, and scoring as delivered in test centers. The Quant, Verbal and IR sections (no AWA section) will have the same number of items and the same time for completion. This will allow us to maintain the same score scale for both the Section Scores and Total Score.
The check-in and security protocols will be modified to accommodate online delivery and remote proctors will be used to manage test integrity.
The alternative test will be available in impacted markets, outside of mainland China. GMAC is continuing to work with the Chinese government authorities to present appropriate, alternative solutions for test takers in mainland China.
In light of the current unprecedented situation, this interim solution will be offered at a lower price point than the standard GMAT exam to support our test takers and schools during this difficult time.
Additional details coming soon. "
Now, since there is no AWA section in this version, how are those schools which require the AWA section mandatorily going about this version? For instance, LBS has clearly written in its MIM application that candidates are required to submit their AWA scores.
