Hi All,
Looking for suggestions. My GMAT is scheduled for 30-Dec-2020. However I checked with test center directly as I had a gut feeling and they informed me it is closed for maintenance. But no response from Pearson or GMAC over e-mail. Tried phone and not able to get hold of them.
The catch is I have deadline of 04-Jan-2021 to apply (I know it is close) and no other center nearby has appointment prior to this date.
Any thoughts/suggestions for below questions are appreciated
1. Can I schedule GMAT Online now for 28-Dec-2020 (so that scores are available on time) and let Pearson do the cancellation
2. Will GMAC allow to schedule the Online GMAT if I have an existing Test Center appointment? (within 16 day window)
3. Will cancellation by Pearson lead to refund? As I will not require a reschedule
Test center Location - Chennai, India (Center: ITM Business School, Siruseri)
Thanks,
Prabhakar

Wow. This stinks. Sorry about this.
My thoughts:
1. You need to protect yourself and schedule a GMAT test ASAP. I would probably schedule the online one 7 business days out so that would be earlier than 28th. I think originally it was 7 days and then it became 7 business days. Source: https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat-online/a ... re-reports
2. I would recommend trying to get a hold of the GMAC/Pearson (not sure how handles scheduling) and trying to get them to help with reschedule and find you a spot or at least get a record of the conversation (Jot down the name of the person and the time you called and all other details for future). Likely they won't help but you can at least initiate the refund.
3. If #2 does not work, keep checking the system 3-4 times per day at odd hours to see if there are openings at the physical test centers. This is the most reliablel way to make sure you have a score.
4. The only good news is you are not alone in this, and schools are aware of the challenges. You need to make sure you take the test 7 business days before the deadline as otherwise, it will be your fault for not planning well enough in advance. If you schedule it 7 business days ahead and GMAC fails to give you a score, I am sure schools would be understanding and you could submit a dummy score and then revise it later (I would send an email to the school on the 4th and provide back up and details of your experienc - I am sure they will be sympathetic). Let me know if you need help with this note.
Good luck!
BB.

Hi bb,
Thank you for taking the time on detailed response.
a. Good that you pointed 7 business days. I will schedule accordingly to take GMAT Online next week.
b. GMAC Pearson seem to be hard reach. Trying on multiple avenues - email, phone. No response so far.
Will be getting hold of them Monday and finalize this issue
c. I certainly would keep checking on odd hours.
d. Will write a note to the school. But not sure how flexible they will be.
One question if you know answers right on top. If not, I would ask GMAC/Pearson on Monday (21-Dec)
1. I prefer Pearson cancel my appointment rather than I cancel it so that there is no issue on refund. But looks like this may not happen until a day or two prior to scheduled exam date (30-Dec).
So, If GMAC/Pearson does not cancel my existing test-center appointment, will it still allow to schedule a new GMAT Online be scheduled? (within 16 day window)
All fun to happen coming Monday/Tuesday on scheduling. Will post on developments. Thank you once again.
