My offline GMAT EXAM was scheduled on 28th July. As GMAT online is extended till 14th August. Now Can I reschedule my offline GMAT exam to ONLINE GMAT EXAM. Or do I have to make fresh registration for ONLINE GMAT EXAM?? My exam center is in Mumbai and here condition is very serious,so I am thinking to give online exam.

Hey I am also from Mumbai . Had planned to give it in July at the centre but the centre isn’t picking up calls. How do you get to know if centre will allow us to sit for exam if they don’t cancel it from their side?

I got through to the center (pearson mumbai, they were doing some sort of cleaning); they said minimum 1st July is when they're expected to start (but don't take that as final). I'd suggest giving the online gmat.

If the center is open, there's definitely someone there to pick the phone up (I infact called the building where pearson is located!).

Hello all, I just wanted to know if anyone has received a call from the proctor during the test? Was wondering how does a proctor call us, since the obvious presumption is that we cannot keep our phones with us?

Yeah I had a lot of doubts about this too. I think they contact you via chat and call. I kept my phone outside the room with my friend so he could attend the call if need be.

Posted from my mobile device


Proctor called me just before the start of my exam through the Pearson software over wifi.
It was an audio call, via laptop's inbuilt mic and speaker.

Purpose: to check my physical whiteboard.

Oh that’s good news! You are talking about the Andheri Pearson centre right? Well if they are picking calls and if they plan to start July onwards then they would be taking students for the exam. I really do not want to give online gmat. Can’t change section of quant verbal and no break also.

Guys... At my place, when the power cut happens, it takes us around a minute to get the wifi on power back (inverter). Does a minute lag going to affect the GMAT Online? Do they cancel the exam because of the a minute or two minute power cut?

Yes it will affect your test.
Make sure you have continuous internet connection.
You can keep mobile hotspot on as secondary option.

Yep, the andheri one!
Before booking a date, do call in the first week of July and see if someone picks up the phone.

Yes, a power cut that long will definitely cancel your test. Even an internet connection which drops for 10-15 seconds in the middle would raise alarm bells + the process to get a refund/reschedule a test from GMAC is very cumbersome. Would suggest you take of these aspects before your exam to avoid unnecessary complications.

They call you through the OnVue software running on your computer during the test. You will be able to respond using the microphone of your computer. So, no need to keep your phone near you (specially not within arm's reach)

Thanks. This was one of my major concerns. I heard some people got calls over their mobiles. So I did not know if I should keep my mobile within earshot.

Hi, I suggest you keep your phone near you and on loud, until you mak contact with the Proctor.

I realized after waiting on OnVUE for 15 minutes, that I had two missed calls from GMAT. (I am not clear as to why nobody addressed me on OnVUE).

After 15 minutes, I couldn't contact anybody either on phone or on OnVUE.

It's been 2 weeks of follow up since then, but I haven't been able to give the online exam yet.

Just want to make sure nobody else faces the same problem!

But after you make contact, how do you silence your phone? After you upload photos you are not supposed to move away from camera...

I suggest once you make contact, you tell the Proctor that you are keeping the phone away. Then you can put it on silent and toss it out of arms reach.

The location and internet has to be the same as when you do the initial login procedure.

During the login procedure for the test, you have to upload the pics of your surroundings and computer setup. If you change location after uploading these pics, then it considered malpractice and the exam will probably get voided.

Internet, I do not know. Question is why would you want to change interent after the internet check?

My offline GMAT EXAM was scheduled on 28th July. As GMAT online is extended till 14th August. Now Can I reschedule my offline GMAT exam to ONLINE GMAT EXAM. Or do I have to make fresh registration for ONLINE GMAT EXAM?? My exam center is in Mumbai and here condition is very serious,so I am thinking to give online exam.

Hi.

I have my Test booked for 16-July in Pearson Andheri and have received my email confirmation as well.

Even I was trying to get hold of them on 022-40056787 but there was no response since last week.

I spoke to Pearson Vue (India) today and they gave me a confirmation of my booking but not a guarantee of execution of the actual Test citing current circumstances.

A few queries:
1. Should I travel to Andheri and check the status of the Center this week? Its around 15kms from my house.
2. How long should I wait before I re-schedule to another Center?
3. Has anybody taken the GMAT in Andheri in the past few weeks?
4. GOM has announced https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/maharashtra-extends-lockdown-till-july-31-2253967 another lock-down extension till 31-July. Will that affect Test-takers of July?
5. What is the status of the Hinduja Center in Mumbai?

Please advice on the above.
