I just received my online score, it is showing EC (Error with content); I have no idea about the significance of EC.

I tried to contact GMAT & Examity team but there is no response from them.

GMAT online test sucks :x

Their customer care team is pathetic :x

Sorry HoneyLemon 😢😢😢

Unfortunately the GMAT sub forums are peppered with similar topics. We all have thought that having examity conduct the test would only improve the experience. It seems like it’s worse now than it used to be. 🤦‍♂️

However, it seems the problems are so pervasive that at least they stopped denying them. The lag issue is a well-known challenge and usually you will get your score canceled and the voucher re-issued. If you have not completed the test and did not receive a score of the end, in 99% of the cases you will get your voucher and reschedule opportunity provided approx within two weeks…and then you can schedule a retest. Which is not great if you need to take the test in the next two weeks.

👍 glad to hear you got a refund rather than a voucher. Still took them 10 days… annoying 😢

Sorry about that. Do you have a retake date in mind?

Hi,
I have faced a similar issue today. I Had to click 3 to 4 times on the OA and then again 3 4 times to click submit and it was the same throughout the exam. I told the proctor about the problem but she asked to restart my system and warned me that restarting might not help. Things went completely wrong in AWA where I typed the sentence and have to wait 10 sec to see what was typed and then I restarted my system but the problem was not solved. In all the exam took more than 4 hours. Due to multiple clicking, I even cancelled my 2nd break. :|
Although I completed the exam I lost 20 seconds on each question in verbal. In the end, I had to guess questions and was stressed about it all the time. I have complained to the GMAC and hope to get reschedule voucher or a refund.

Hi, a quick update. I got an email from GMAC and they have refunded the fee. I hope they will improve the online exam platform. But anyway, I am going to give the test centre exam this time.

Hi,
I faced exactly the same issues and sent a complaint to GMAC and Examity. I completed the test regardless of the issues but I want it to be canceled it's unfair that we had to go through this.
Examity said only to contact GMAC.
I have already taken the GMAT in the center and I still want to take it again. I can't have one online experience count for the 5 attempts limit when it wasn't a fair experience.
I requested a cancellation.
Are they going to refund and cancel the score? I don't care about the money I just want to be able to take it again (in a center this time, never ever at home)
Do they need proof? I just experienced the issues and sent a description to GMAC, I don't have any proof (besides the fact that it seems to be pervasive)
Thanks

Have you also tried calling the folks at GMAC directly to explain your issue?

They’ll cancel it and refund your money or give you an exam voucher which you can only use for the at home test. You can however tell them you want a refund instead of a voucher.

Hi Scott,
GMAC guys have canceled my Online GMAT score and labeled it as a technical error. They have also proceeded with the refund. BUT, they still count it as per the 5 / year limit. I have taken the gmat 3 times + the online canceled attempt and have recently registered to retake it. and I can no longer register for another attempt, I don't get it. It's supposed to be canceled but still counts as an attempt, is this standard procedure? I am really outraged

That does not seem right. Have you been able to chat with anyone at GMAC about this?
