It is possible that this test center is enforcing its own rules. Pearson test centers follow Pearson test rules. However, please note that independent test centers who are contracted by Pearson may be adding their own rules. Not sure if these would be allowed by regional laws.

In any case, the test center should clearly announce their policy on this before registration and not communicate in fine letters in a later confirmation email.

We understand your concern, however, you must the guidelines mentioned by the test centers as they are specific requirements according to the situation.




I got this reply from Pearson. (See quote above).


I believe this is only for test centre in "Uttrakhand" State of India because I talked to other people who gave test in "Delhi" and no such report was asked there. I believe that Gmac should notify in advance about any specific requirement of a test center.

There is rapid antigen test for Covid whose report can be generated within 3 hours. It costly though (₹1,000) .

I have not heard back anything official from GMAC or Pearson :cry:
But this may indeed be a local center rules that are specific to this geography. Thanks again for bringing it up and researching! :thumbsup:

Where is this coming from? Nothing like this has been announced in any country. It would be crazy to require this esp within 48 hours. It is not true and is a gossip that should not be repeated. (Many labs are not able to turn the results around in 48 hrs. This would not be possible in many places including the US.)




Dear bb , This is not a gossip. This NOTE is written at the end of email that i recieved from pearson-vue regarding appointment confirmation. Pls see the screenshot below. This note was written below the address of test center. I have emailed about the same to pearson APAC helpline email.


This is crazy...I hope students don't resort to obtaining a report at "any cost"

I agree. I personally would not even look at the bottom of my confirmation email. It’s good that you did. Hopefully this attention translates to great GMAT score as well.

Thank you for pointing this out.

I have checked with other test takers (other regions), and can confirm that their confirmation emails do not mention any such requirement, so it is most likely something that specific center has asked for. Definitely an unreasonable ask, and hopefully not something that they'll enforce. Have you tried getting in touch with the test center?

Thanks AjiteshArun!!

Finally my Exam hangover is over now.. And i realised its not a bad score...

If some moderator is reading this please convey my thanks to generis and Sajjad1994 . They have helped me a lot in my preparation. RC bultler by Sajjad and SC butler explanations by generis were soo amazing and deep. I learned a lot through their posts/explanation. I even remember spending half hour on each explanation of generis because they were so long and usually have 2-3 similar questions links. It helped a lot.

Thank you generis & Sajjad1994

BTW. My actual profile is Jks3000 . I was on top 3 in winning team of HOT 2020. Thanks bb for such competition, I won free online course. I have to make this another account because in last on month I wanted fresh error log of only official questions,but no master reset button was present.

Anyways, All's Well That Ends Well
Cheers !!!
:D :D

Issue-GMAT exam at test center wearing mask for people with specs [#permalink]
Hey, I have scheduled my exam at test center on 14th August. I have all the symptoms of Covid-19. And I will go for covid test tomorrow. The test result will be given within 3 to 5 days. My question is if I get covid positive, can I reschedule my exam? If I reschedule, do I have to pay additional fee to GMAC?
