GMAT Online - What We Know [Master Topic]

I believe it does mean that you should read again if you still have doubts. Someone's will can change many things but that is pretty clear.
If you read a bit more you will understand why it should not be so frustrating. Bombing it is something that can happen to any of us.

Good luck with your study and your next attempt!

You are correct that you cannot cancel your GMAT Online score--however, GMAC has made up for this by doing us the favor of not including GMAT Online scores on the regular Test Taker Score Report, which is now sometimes requested by B-schools (and which also indicates cancellations), which effectively means that b-school adcoms will only see our GMAT Online scores if we want them to.

Hi, does anyone know whether the GMAT online score can be integrated into the official score report? The school that I want to share my score with has asked me to send them the score in PDF format but I only have the in-person GMAT scores in PDF. I reached out to GMAC but didn't receive any reply from them in 2 days.

Excuse me.
Do you know where can I find the button or page to Schedule the Gmat online, I cant find} Thank you

Hi Yaliguzman25

The link to GMAT Online registration can be found in your GMAT My Account Page.
My Account -> REGISTER NOW OR VIEW APPOINTMENT DETAIILS under Exams -> "GMAT Online : Graduate Management Admission Test" under Pre-approved Exams.

Because GMAT Online scores can't be cancelled, they were intentionally left off the test-taker score reports, and unlike the test center GMAT, at present there is no PDF download option or unique URL that you can use to access an official score report with your DOB.

Thus, your adcom might have to settle for a PDF of a screenshot of your mba.com account page, where your scores are listed--but you should also send them an official score report, since it's free to send unlimited GMAT Online score reports--and an official score report directly from the test-maker is the only way to guarantee that the scores are real.

See the image below (personal information redacted) as an example:

Great advice! You may need to read things multiple times.... and maybe you won’t need to cancel scores if you follow it.

Gotcha, I think I saw in the interview with Vineet from GMAC that they had plans to integrate the online score in official report if people wish to do so but perhaps that's still under conideration.

Hi, I'm taking tomorrow the online gmat, I guess I'm being paranoid but has anyone experienced issues with having a large window on the testing room?

My idea is to seat giving the back to the window so I can have more natural light and won't see any bird or the neighbors across, also the proctor would be able to see it through the webcam. I was checking everything tonight and the "walled room" word gave me some doubts...

I had a window in the room that I was giving the test in and it was not an issue. That said, I did not have my back against the window but don't expect it to be a problem as long as the proctor can see your face properly and there isn't a strong glare. Is there a way you can move the desk in a way that the window is on the side instead of directly behind you?

I actually have a sunblind in half of the terrace that blocks most of the light, if the glare is an issue I will have to close it all, losing natural light then, I could also be parallel to it, will rehearse tomorrow morning and see.

Thanks!
Pablo

Yeah, if you can be parallel to it then that should be totally fine.

Did you guys upload the pictures of yourself and your room the day before the exam? Or, should I upload these pictures 30-40 minutes before the exam? I will be taking the exam in 18 hours.

You take the pictures and upload them with your phone. Exam appears 30 min before official start time and it is more than enough according to my experience.

The process actually seemed pretty straightforward to me.

You have to do it just before the exam - they send you a link once you are starting your check-in processes through mba.com

Thank you. About the "walled room" issue, can I place my desk in front of a closet, which is grey and has no pictures on it? The closet looks like a wall. I don't have a comfortable place in front of the wall.

I honestly do not think they will raise too many issues as long as you show a clean space with no papers or devices around you.
Make sure you place everything inside that closet to avoid any problems, do not leave any loose items visible and you should be fine.
