Hi All,

I took my GMAT focus exam yesterday and scored a 715! This morning I received an email saying my exam was undergoing a routine security review that may take up to 20 days. I didn't get this email after I scored a 655 a month ago but my guess is that was just an off day as in my mocks I was scoring consistently over 700. The only thing I can think that might get flagged was my proctor said "hello" twice in the middle of one of my sections and I responded "yes". But she said she was sorry and didn't mean to interrupt me. What do you guys think should I be concerned or is this just routine for scores that high?

Hi dpoliakoff,

Many test takers receive similar messages. You'll most likely receive your official score report soon.

Great job on the 715, and all the best.

Congrats on the score! Please consider sharing a debrief 🙏

I would not be concerned. These happen all the time and rarely cause any issues. Usually they get resolved fairly quickly. It’s based on the recording of your test session and AI analysis of your session.
