Effect of Corona on GMAT Tests to be held in April

Question

Hey!

I am looking to know about the effect of corona virus (Covid-19) on the rescheduling, cancellation & preparation of GMAT Tests.

I had booked my slot for April 4 for giving my GMAT Tests & had already practiced multiple mock tests & all questions provided in the GMAT Club Test Prep Series.
Unfortunately, due to the Corona Virus Outbreak in the country & the overall lockdown, I will have to reschedule my test.

How should I prepare for the tests since it will be atleast after a month I was originally planning to give.

Can someone recommed a course plan for this month to follow.

Thanks in advance

Hi SpecterLitt,

Can you provide some more information on how you have been studying up to this point?

-- for how long have you been studying?

-- what resources have you been using?

-- have you taken any practice exams?

-- what is your score goal?

Once I learn some more about your situation with the GMAT, I can provide some further advice.

Hi SpecterLitt,

Since the various Testing Facilities have been closed (due to the Coronavirus/Covid-19), it's unclear when those Facilities will reopen. In response, GMAC has put together a tentative plan to administer the GMAT directly on Test-takers' home computers. You can read more about that opportunity here:

As such, you might not have to wait too long before you take the Official GMAT. During that time, you should continue to do light practice and review - and take a practice CAT/mock each week (to keep your skills sharp). It's worth noting that the process of taking (and reviewing) a CAT requires a significant amount of energy and effort - and takes time to 'recover' from. This is one of the reasons why you typically shouldn't take more than 1 CAT per week - and your last CAT should be taken about 1 week before Test Day.

1) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
2) What is your overall goal score?

Share your current level and how have you performed in official mocks. Maybe then the experts will be in a better position to help you.

Because I don't know your current level of gmat score, it is never wrong that you do the entire latest OG, both Quant and Verbal.

Good luck for your interim gmat or gmat at test centre

Hi  SpecterLitt ,

I'm sure you have heard about the new interim GMAT format that you can take online from home. One major update is that they won't be having the AWA section as a part of the interim GMAT exam format.

Here is a video which lists down the recent updates about the new interim GMAT exam format that you can take from home:
