Thanks a lot for the immediate response bb!! I just attempted the first question so do you think resetting the test makes sense? as I will not get any repeat questions and + I get my wasted 10 minutes back? (I paused the exam that time, came back to the dashboard and I can see Resume BUT with 1 question attempted and 10 minutes past) Thank you!!

There is a problem with the software which will cause questions to be stuck and they experience you have described to repeat. I would not attempt the test right now.


you will not get your time back based on the previous user experience if you continue the test. Again, I would not continue.

Unfortunately, even if things are fixed on GMAC's end, the timer may start with those 9 minutes still counted. Consider resetting the mock. Official Mock 1 and 2 allow for unlimited resets and, though it may be frustrating you saw a single question, it is just one question.

Hello experts, (bb tagging bb because I need an urgent response, like right now!!)

I just sat for my gmat prep free mock 1, solved the first question, and then the screen pause, next thing I know is that I've lost 9 minutes. This is completely going to mess up my potential score due to less time, so I paused the exam right away after my first question, and I dont wish to complete this mock in the current setting.

What should I do? Reset the exam? What will that do? I need an urgent response, I'm freaking out haha!!

Thank you!!

Yes, I went ahead and reset the mocks, that way I did not get any repeat questions and was able to retake the mock right from the start
