Several folks got 2 RC back to back at the beginning of the GMAT. On the real test. There is no rule or guarantee that the passages will be evenly spaced or where they will be located. There’s no guarantee how many questions of which type of appear. There are just general guidelines that we have observed. The positioning of the reading comprehension passages are random....

Based on what you have outlined, I do not see any irregularity. I’m sorry about your score and it definitely seems like it’s not reflective of your usual scores so you may want to consider retaking the test center or hopefully when GMAT online extends, maybe there will be an option to retake it online. However, we have not received any indication of that GMAT online will allow retakes ... at this time at least

I am an MBA aspirant from India and have been preparing for GMAT only with OG's and GMATclub

I gave the Gmat online on 16th july 2020
received the score within 36 hours of test taking but I am finding my scores hard to digest
Q47
V24
590
I have always been more confident and sure of verbal and have never received less than 35 in any mock test
My last Official GMAT mock 4 days before the exam was scored at 700 with a Q49 and V35 and 14 days before that another official Gmat mock was scored at 670 with a Q45 and V37
Also another strange thing during my verbal section was I got 2 difficult RC back to back and between  question 28 to 36 there was no rc the questions were not evenly spaced which I have observed in all the mocks that I have given.

Also I did not receive my score in mail just received a mail from GMAC that my scores are availaible on the MBA dot come SITE.
is it possible to have received an incorrect score ? is this worth a probe?

I am so sorry to hear this. If I were you I would definitely want to do a probe no matter what. See what your options are - I am assuming that other than writing a mail to GMAT folks, there is nothing much you can do about it - and exhaust them. That will help you make peace with the problem in hand. Other than this, seniors on the forum should who have dealt with a situation like this can probably give you a detailed response.

@ Thank you so much for the feedback, even I am hoping they announce retakes for the online exam as soon as possible but if requiring a probe do you think GMAC would be open to it? The least might be sharing the ESR so that I can understand what went wrong and work on my pitfalls is there any minute chance of GMAC sharing the ESR with me ?

There is no ESR for gmat online so the chances are absolutely zero of you seeing what does not exist. It may become available later and you can maybe order it mater.... but not yet.

I don’t know chances of an investigation just because someone feels they should have gotten a higher score but I won’t say GMAC has never made a mistake. ? but then the question is - why are you the only one?

I took the online test on July 8th and scored a 750 (Q49, V44). The overall experience was very smooth. Had 6 minutes left for quant and almost 8 for Verbal. I felt the exam was on par with the Official mocks or a little easier. Definitely, didn't see anything tougher and out of the ordinary. All my 3 RCs were short and easy to comprehend.

I haven't taken a test at the Center so I wouldn't know how that felt but the home experience was very good.

Edit: I got an email from GMAC later that there was an error on my original score and it was actually 760(Q49,V44)

Hey,

Similar thing happened with me. My verbal scores from the 4 official mocks were 36, 37, 37, 37. And the verbal score in my official online exam was 31. I was actually feeling confident about the verbal section after the exam. So, I think it was just an off day for me, and have scheduled an in center exam now. I would suggest you retake the exam as well.

Hope I'm posting this in the right forum.

My test was supposed to start at 10:00 AM. As instructed I logged in half an hour early. I just had to take 4 photos from all the directions of my workspace and upload a picture of my ID proof. And then the video capture started. Within less than two minutes a proctor joined and asked me to show the whiteboard. That being done she started the test.

Quant was smooth, I had just one question I was struggled on. I panicked a little because I almost took 4 minutes for that. I was lagging a little at that point. However, I breezed through the next 8-10 questions and I realized I had a lot of time left. Slowed down a little and took the rest of quant at a comfortable pace. Honestly I felt quant was much easier than the 700-800 level questions I scored on GMATClub. I guess I made some silly mistakes because I don't recollect having to guess any questions. So the Q49 was a little disappointing. As I had finished almost 6 minutes early I decided to stick on the last question for almost 5 minutes and then submitted the last question.

Verbal was again pretty smooth. The biggest relief for me were the RCs. They were pretty easy to understand and were evenly spaced across the test. I was left with almost 8 minutes on the last question. I must have spent 5 minutes on it and then submitted the question. Showed the proctor my board which she acknowledged and took my break. This was the only interaction I had with the proctor.

IR was probably the only part of the test I felt I had to struggle. I had a couple of tough ones. I ended up getting a 6 so I probably messed up at least 2-3 questions. I had to guess the last question because I didn't have enough time.

Hope this helps future test takers.

Same question. I think it is only a matter of time though. I am sure they will have to do it, not sure why the delay.

Hello, I'm sorry to say that the same happened to me.
I had got a V34 and a V37 on the 2 free GMAC mock tests, 1 and 2 weeks before, and on the real thing I got only a V30, so I was really disappointed.
On quant I got a 49, so that gave me a total score of 660, and I thinking of applying anyway to Saïd and Judge, unless I get the chance to retest before september, but that seems unlikely since Chile has been in lockdown for the past 2 months.
(On IR I got a 6, I don't know wheter that's good)

One followup. Are you from India? If so, which center is open?

Hey,

Similar thing happened with me. My verbal scores from the 4 official mocks were 36, 37, 37, 37. And the verbal score in my official online exam was 31. I was actually feeling confident about the verbal section after the exam. So, I think it was just an off day for me, and have scheduled an in center exam now. I would suggest you retake the exam as well.

I gave the Gmat online on 16th july 2020
received the score within 36 hours of test taking but I am finding my scores hard to digest
Q47
V24
590
I have always been more confident and sure of verbal and have never received less than 35 in any mock test
My last Official GMAT mock 4 days before the exam was scored at 700 with a Q49 and V35 and 14 days before that another official Gmat mock was scored at 670 with a Q45 and V37
Also another strange thing during my verbal section was I got 2 difficult RC back to back and between  question 28 to 36 there was no rc the questions were not evenly spaced which I have observed in all the mocks that I have given.

Also I did not receive my score in mail just received a mail from GMAC that my scores are availaible on the MBA dot come SITE.
is it possible to have received an incorrect score ? is this worth a probe?

Sorry, I should have mentioned it in my original reply.
I am in London, but the mba.com page says that the testing has resumed in some 20 odd cities in India as well: https://www.mba.com/articles-and-announ ... oronavirus

I faced the same. I had been scoring between 730 and 770 in my official mocks, with Q51 everytime and V40+. In the actual test, I felt the quant went very well as I was getting tough questions but my score was Q49. The verbal was a bummer since I also received 2 RCs somewhere around 26-30 questions, back to back. The RC passages were tough there and I felt they could have been spaced in a much better fashion as that would have enabled me to score well on the questions that eventually came after the 2 RCs. I finally ended up with V35, even though I was doing well and getting tough questions prior to that. I would certainly like to know if anyone has a logical explanation as to how the algorithm chooses to dish out questions and the order henceforth.

Hello, I'm sorry to say that the same happened to me.
I had got a V34 and a V37 on the 2 free GMAC mock tests, 1 and 2 weeks before, and on the real thing I got only a V30, so I was really disappointed.
On quant I got a 49, so that gave me a total score of 660, and I thinking of applying anyway to Saïd and Judge, unless I get the chance to retest before september, but that seems unlikely since Chile has been in lockdown for the past 2 months.
(On IR I got a 6, I don't know wheter that's good)

Hey

I just gave GMAT online this Tuesday and have received a 690 score with Q49 V34, this was my first attempt and I want to do this again, is there any chance GMAC is extending the Online Exam, also is there any chance GMAC will allow another attempt at GMAT Online with a break time between Quant and Verbal?

R u hearing anything on this guys?

Thanks

Gagan

Hi

While running the system test, I am not able to see my webcam feed. But the system test is showing as pass. Will this be an issue during actual examination
