No matter how you want it, GMAT is very strict about this. The registered name has to match the name in the passport exactly. A few years ago my brother was not allowed to write the exam due to a similar issue.

If you do not change your details, you wont be able to sit in the exam. GMAC is quite adamant about allowing you without matching your name on the pass port with gmat profile.

Role of transcripts will be at later stage, but to relief yourself you may call them and clear your doubts.

Just to update:

Attempted my first GMATPREP and scored 710 (Q50, V36).

Few observations, In quant i got 6 incorrect : 2 in first 10 questions and 4 in last 10. So this means last has has a major contribution which decides between score 51 and 50.

In verbal i got 10 incorrect, however i got around 7-8 repeat questions, 1-2 from OG and rest from old GMATPREP and i made 4 mistakes in those repeated questions (may be because my senses says answer is something else and my understanding says something else, this confusion cost me 4 questions)

I will still prepare more for Verbal to get at least 38-40 in GMAT.

any new strategy suggestion would be highly recommended ....

Are you done with you gmat prep attempts or not?? If yes then I will recommned the gmat prep SC document & the "tough & tricky math" questions. These two documents are really helpful in revising & going through SC & Maths, if one is done with gmat prep. For CR, kindly go through the tough CR questions in this forum by using the tag option & keep the "smart" work going. :)

Thanks for the advice.
