Hello to all GMAT CLUB members,
Thought I'd share what happened to me this week, in hopes of preventing others to be in this misfortunate situation:
I did my first GMAT a while ago and the result was not good enough, wanted to improve. I have been studying constantly for few months now,
and simultaneously completed my business school application, which has a deadline on March 4th.
I decided to take the exam right before the deadline, so I will have as much time as possible to prepare while working full time.
I used a business trip I had to Thailand and signed up long ago for the GMAT on Tuesday, March 3rd, in Chiang Mai. I paid, received confirmation and all seemed fine.
Today, after already flying especially for Chiang Mai in preparation for the exam, I received a notification that the exam center ('Movaci Technology' in Chiang Mai) had to close unexpectedly and will no longer hold GMAT exams AT ALL. (not a delay, a permanent closure). I was told my money will be refunded , and that I should book in a different test center.
The only other test center in the country is in Bangkok, and they don't have any free dates on such a late notice until after the application is due
I know it is my fault for keeping it for the last minute, but I thought I planned it perfectly as the rest of the application is done a while ago. Now i'm completely stuck and leaning towards not applying at all
That's it, I know I cannot get any help , but since this amazing forum helped me a lot, i thought i'd share this in order to potentially warn / prepare others.
Good luck everybody

Hi. I am so sorry to hear about this.... it is very rare but it happens since the centers are operated by Pearson Vue and may be independent... so some come and some go. (At first I thought this was corona virus related) but it seems just a test center being closed... odd and unusual but not impossible. My suggestion would also be to look into other test centers in neighboring countries. When I was taking the GMAT, my country only had 1 test center so I traveled to take the test in another country about 10 hours by train. This ended up a nice distraction and a nice way to do it since I could focus on the GMAT for those few days and not be distracted with friends/etc. Not sure if you could pull something like that off but this could be a blessing in disguise.
