INTERVENE BETWEEN 2 GMAT EXAM

Question

if someone take GMAT on 20th September, 2023 for first attempt then s/he can take his/her 2nd attempt on 24th September, 2023 again? I mean--what is the shortest difference (days) between 2 GMAT exams taken by same test taker?

Hi. GMAT “cool down” period is 14 days so that means on the 15th day you’ll be able to take the test again. This means the soonest you can take the GMAT is October 5.

It used to be possible to take the online and the test center test on the same day but there is no longer the case for about six months now.

In November, we should be able to take the focus version of the test on the same day with the classic GMAT or at least so I anticipate but of course that does not help you.

Hi! just an additional point here. I spoke with the GMAC support guys around three months back and this is what I learnt:
1. If you take a test at a test center, you will need to wait for 14 days before retaking either the online or the test center version
2. If you take an online test, you can reappear for a test center exam the very next day. But, if you wish to retake the exam online, you'll have to wait for 14 days.

Hope this helps.

Really appreciate it. Very interesting. It makes no sense whatsoever. 😂😂😂

PS. And if it is an odd Monday of a leap year…

Hello  bb ,
Do you think that what GMAC said is right? It's very important issue for me right now!

Hi. The rules have changed. 
You should be able to see it in your account as well.

1. You can now schedule multiple GMAT appointments as long as it’s not more than five in a 12-month period.

2. There is a weight of 14 days between any test. Online or test center. You can no longer take both tests on the same day or a day apart. You have to wait between online and test and format just like you would do between the same formats.

3. The only test you can mix and match seem to be the focus edition and the classic edition.

PS. Let me know if the rules have changed even further but you should be able to validate it in your account trying to rebook the exam. I’m guessing you have one booked and you’re trying to change your book another one…
