Hi JHR2021,

If you're taking the exam in India, you  must  have  a valid passport  (name and DOB must match mba.com registration exactly). A light snack would be good, and I recommend that you take your own water. They'll provide you markers/noteboards, so you don't have to bring, and in fact aren't allowed to use, your own. They will also give you some form of noise protection (you can't take your own).

Hi JHR2021.

You don't need anything, such as pens, paper, etc., that you will need for taking the test. All of those items will be provided by the test center.

You may or may not be able to bring a snack or drink. From what I've seen, the rules have been changed, and snacks may no longer be allowed in the test center.

You need your ID, which in some cases must be your passport.

GmatKnightTutor · Answer

You can take your own food and beverages, for example. You will need to present a valid form of ID. The MBA website has a dropdown list based on location of acceptable IDs you can check out.

Hi JHR2021,

You can learn about what Test Day entails on the official website here:

https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat-exam/plan-for-exam-day

Obviously, there are additional factors that can impact your performance (in the days leading up to your Exam and on Test Day itself), so to maximize your performance, you have to think about all of the various details of the Test Day 'event.'

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) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) 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:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi AjiteshArun / anyone else here who might have an answer,

Are religious articles (such as a religious wooden bracelet) allowed during the GMAT exam at a Pearson's Venue? I am unable to find this information anywhere, but as this is something that brings me comfort I am hoping to be allowed to carry this with me

AjiteshArun · Answer

Hi TtTt1212,

Unfortunately, this depends on your test centre/proctor. GMAT rules state that medical bracelets are allowed, but I'd be surprised if they allowed a large, removable bracelet of any other kind.

You can find more information about this on mba.com ( link , "allowed and prohibited items").

My passport renewal appointment happened recently- so they have punched holes in it. Will that be accepted for offline GMAT?

GmatKnightTutor · Answer

Is the passport still valid/not expired? Consider reaching out to GMAC Customer Care.

Aashita77 · Answer

Yes, it's still valid- not past the expiry date
