I attempted the GMAT exam towards the end of last year and scored 690. The exam was be both exhilarating and nerve-wracking at the same time.
Below is an overview of what you can expect from the GMAT exam experience:
Before the Exam:
- Registration & Scheduling: You must register for the GMAT exam through the official GMAC website and select a convenient test date and location. Advisable to schedule the exam well in advance to secure your preferred date and time slot.
- Exam Prep: Adequate preparation is crucial for success on the GMAT. I spent several weeks or months studying concepts, practicing questions, and familiarizing themselves with the exam format and structure. Utilizing reputable study materials and resources, such as official GMAT guides, prep courses, and practice tests, helped me enhance preparation efforts.
- Exam-Day Logistics: I familiarized myself with the location of the test center, transportation arrangements, required identification documents, and allowed personal items. Arrived at the test center well-rested, nourished, and with ample time to spare before the exam began.
- Check-In Process: Upon arrival at the test center, you'll undergo a check-in process that includes presenting valid identification, providing biometric data, and storing personal belongings in a designated area. Follow the proctor's instructions carefully to ensure a smooth check-in experience.
- Exam Format: The older format of GMAT exam consists of four sections: Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA), Integrated Reasoning (IR), Quantitative, and Verbal. The AWA and IR sections are non-adaptive, while the Quantitative and Verbal sections utilize computer-adaptive testing (CAT) algorithms to adjust question difficulty based on your performance.
- Breaks: Scheduled breaks were provided between sections of the exam, allowing test-takers to rest, use the restroom, and refocus before proceeding to the next section. Suggest to the use the provided breaks strategically to recharge.
- Time Management: Effective time management is critical on the GMAT, as each section has a fixed time limit. Pace yourself accordingly.
- First Glance of Scores: I received the unofficial scores for the Verbal and Quantitative sections immediately after completing the exam. Official score reports, including AWA and IR scores, were available online within 7-10 days after the exam date. Scores are valid for five years and can be sent to selected business schools for consideration.
- Exam Retake Options: If you're dissatisfied with your GMAT score, you have the option to retake the exam after a 16-day waiting period. GMAC offers a score review service as well but for a fee. This allows to request a review of their Verbal and Quantitative section scores for potential errors.
Thanks,
