Same here. And it's not even the first time - I was looking forward to giving a final prep exam before my real exam day after tomorrow only for it to stall midway.

If they can't maintain something like this smoothly they shouldn't have taken it to an online format in the first place.

The contact us option is not working, throws sending failure error. The chat guy says (after 15 minutes) that he is no good for gmat prep software, can't even raise a issue to the GMAT prep team.

I have sent a mail for which response time is upto 2 days. How reliable at the last moment before the exam! Kudos!!

Even my gmat is in 3 days and here, we are wasting time like this even after purchasing the authentic software! Entire schedule thrown off the bus!

My student just alerted me that he could not review POWERPREP exam 5. Did you call GMAC regarding the issue?

Not sure about Powerprep, but the online official GMAT prep program has been working for me for the last few days (as recently as about 12 hours ago).

Apparently they have an option to download the gmatprep software, after downloading that the site works properly. Just checked.

Hi Guys,

I am unable to access GMAT Official prep site . I bought the complete bundle with 4 additional official tests and question bank couple of weeks back.
And i was supposed to take my 3rd gmatprep test yesterday. But unfortunately, the link was broken. And i thought it was some technical glitch and evrything would be fine tomorrow. But i am facing the same issue today as well.

On a different note, I used the link to take GMATPrep exams (1 and 2) and i didn't like this online software at all. It's too slow (or maybe my internet is slow). But in some questions, it took up to 10 seconds while moving from one question to another. Did you guys face the similar issue? Does anybody know whether these exams can be taken in desktop version of gmatprep software. (like the good old times ).

I have my Exam in a couple of days and i can't seem to access the official GMAT practice tests.
I am getting a service unavailable message every time I try to access the practice exam.

Is there anyone else who is also facing the same issue ?
Also, is there a work around this problem?

PS: I have already written to GMAC but no response yet.

Not sure if there is a workaround, but you're not the only one unable to access the tests. MBA.com did send a message that they are or will be migrating to a new version of the site soon.

Yes it did. But it also states that the rolling out of the new site will not affect our access to GMAT products including the practice exams. I wonder whatever happened to that. This is very frustrating to say the least.

Same issue on my end - I tried calling the service number and no response. I also downloaded the GMAT Prep software, which seems to have 2 practice tests. It doesn't seem like these tests reflect the absolute latest structure but... desperate times call for desperate measures. Good luck on the test!

I really hope someone from GMAC ends up monitoring this post and does something to get the site up.
Anyway, can't really do much about it.
Good luck to you too. (Y)
