Registering GMAT exam for those with Alias in their names ? [#permalink] New post   26 Sep 2021, 22:40
Hi everyone,

Seems GMAT allows 'at' character to be a registered in the name but not for registration of exam ?
Then how does it works with govt issues passport/IDs since they have "@" as an Alias ?

Thanks

Hi... you mean you have "@" somewhere in the passport? Really?

Wow. That’s new to me!!! 😲😲😲
It sounds awesome 👍

I think this requires a GMAC check in. You don’t want to mess with your name on the registration because the proctor will be confused and they’ll cancel the test. I would ping them on Twitter for the fastest response.

Thanks for advice.
Yes , I don't want to risk anything but just that GMAT contact for Asia-Pacific is not replying so I have sent to America.

Covid is messing with everything here.
In any case, I have not registered for the exam and I don't plan to go for my masters till next August so I am using this waiting time for perfecting SC :)

But it is common here so I am sure the examiners would feel the different from you guys.
Just like any other local cultures/traditions around the world.
I just want to be doubly sure so I thought some here might know something hence asking on this forum.

It is great you are planning ahead of time 👍
