Gmat score flagged for review

Question

I took the online gmat yesterday from home. Received a mail today saying that my exam has been flagged for official review.

As far as i remember everything went smooth and i passed all the checks. In one instance i had clicked on next accidentally without showing the whiteboard to which the proctor asked me to and i showed it. Nothing else was asked nor any warning given.

Could there be any serious violation?

Hi  Jajabor ,

At least some part of this process is automatic (they call it "AI monitoring"), so things like checking whether the test taker's face matches the ID and automatic monitoring of the test taker during the test could lead to a test being flagged. I would also expect some tests to be flagged randomly, to ensure that things are working as they should be (this last bit is speculation).

All this means is that a human will now have to check whether there were any serious security violations during your test. As your post indicates that there were no such violations, I think they'll confirm your score soon.

Hi Jajabor,

With the At-home GMAT, it can sometimes take several days (or even a week or longer) before Official results are provided - so receiving this notification just 1 day after your Test should not necessarily be a big concern. Assuming that you did not purposely cheat on your Exam - and that you did not do anything that significantly violated the rules of the Test - then it's likely that your Score will be verified and you'll receive it soon. If you receive any additional official communications about this, then feel free to post them back here and we can discuss what they might mean and how you might best proceed.

From what you have described, I don't see why you would have any issues; however, if you are overly concerned you always could give the folks at GMAC a call.

This is the third message about getting it flagged the day after the test in 24 hours. I would not make much of it, seems fairly routine and just a phase in the paranoid nature of the test proctors. If you did not do anything malicious, you should be fine. There is no rule that says you can't cover your face, look at the ceiling, or sneeze really. They need to really believe and see that you consistently did something bad, and I would not stress about it.

P.S. Did you get the score you were happy with?
