Hi. You will see a message that says “Waiting for proctor to start your test” or smth like that. (That’s a second hand answer. Let’s see if someone who took the online test can chime in.

Thx

Today I was supposed to write my GMAT and ran into tech problems. After submitting pictures of myself, my room and my ID, a blank screen came up to launch the exam. I stared at a black screen with a white box at the top that was recording me, had a chat and whiteboard option. My computer ended up freezing and didn’t let me write the exam.
My question is when I go to write again and I’m waiting for the exam to launch, what should I expect to see on the screen? Should it be black?
