Hey, sorry to hear this but similar to Gre, gmat has these scams, too. That is why, as you rightly pointed out, gmat has increased the difficulty of its questions.
It's not that hard to adopt such unfair practices, but I don't think test makers can do a lot in these circumstances.

There is definitely a pattern to those who take a path of cheating. Once you take one shortcut it’s too tempting to keep taking shortcuts until you hit a dead end. I think it’s a human nature. You start looking for easy ways out. And eventually that ruins things.

For such people, others are suffering. It has been more than 15 days and I still haven't got my official scores. The situation is so stressful and I do not even know if I'll be able to receive my scores before R2.

Hi guys,

I am very very upset hearing this news from lot of students who are appearing for GRE in INDIA. I heard that many people are hiring others to appear for GRE online. They are cheating by either mirroring the screen or secretly clicking pictures to attempt those questions. This can really do serious damage to people's ambitions and career. I am not an idiot sitting here and studying for 1 year for GMAT when people are doing such damage. I feel some real serious action have to be taken on all such people.
I am really frustrated by this issue, and want to understand if similar cases are happening in GMAT online as well. I felt the last time I wrote the GMAT online the difficulty have been increased a lot
I got this information from a family friend, who did the same thing. He informed that there are many students from 30-40 in one center each and every day attempting such exams and scoring 320+ . They have price for each score range. 1 lack Rs for 330+ and 50k - 60k for 320+. It's a big AF business in India right now. This is disgusting guys. I have no words.
This is not fake guys its very real.
Do check this link for more information regarding GRE online exam scam.
bb is there anything which can be done for such issues

What happens if we inform about the candidate to the university after he securs seat
