Time interval between GMAT Online Vs Test Center based test

Question

Dear all,

I wrote my GMAT online exam today (21st Dec 2020) and i feel that I've not given my best.

There is another test slot available on 27th Dec 2020, but in the  Test-center based mode .

Kindly advice , whether the 16 day time interval holds true for the above scenario as well.

Thanking you in advance.

Welcome to GMAT Club. No, there is no wait period for the two versions of the test. You can take them on the same day if you wish... or crazy enough

Hi SrinivasKumar,

You do not need to wait 16 days. You can take the test center GMAT ASAP.

Hey Man- There is no waiting period between online and offline test. You can sit for the offline exam on 27th

Hi Srinivas Kumar,

To answer your immediate question: the 16-day wait period between Official GMAT attempts ONLY applies to Tests taken in the same 'format' (re: Test Center Date to Test Center Date OR Online Date to Online Date). Scheduling your Exam in one format does NOT impact when you can schedule an appointment in the other. That having been said, 'rushing in' to retest might not be a good idea - especially if you significantly under-performed on this first attempt. There might be broader issues that are impacting your performance - and 5 days of additional study might not be enough time to fix them all.

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) Have you received your Scores yet for your 1st attempt? How did you Score (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
2) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
3) What study materials have you used so far?
4) On what dates (or approximate 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:
5) What is your overall goal score?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
