As no retakes are allowed in GMAT online, when can one write again?

Question

If one takes GMAT online and is not content by the score, by when can one write GMAT in Test Centres? As Round one deadline approaches. Thanks

Hello,  jatinl30 . The GMAT™ Online Exam is basically treated as a freebie, so it does not affect when you are able to take the exam at a test center. If you are waiting on your score and end up unhappy with it, you will be able to take the in-center test as soon as you can schedule it. (The Online Exam also does not count toward your lifetime allowance or allotment of attempts within a certain period of time.)

Good luck with your test and applications.

Hi jatinl30,

After completing your online GMAT you can take the in-person GMAT whenever you feel ready to take it as there is no waiting period.

Hi jatinl30,

The At-home GMAT has NO impact on when you schedule a GMAT appointment at a Test Center and vice-verse. Currently, while you can take the At-home GMAT just ONCE, you can take the GMAT at a Test Center up to 8 times (but with a 16-day waiting period between attempts AND no more than 5 attempts in any 12-month period). Given the impact that Covid-19 has had on whether certain Test Centers stay open or not, you might need to be 'flexible' about when you take your GMAT - and potentially travel to a Test Center that is not the closest facility to you.

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) 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)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
