New feature to GMAT exam- 1-Jul-2014
Chennai: Now, students taking the Graduate Management Admission Test®(GMAT®) exam will now be able to preview their unofficial scores before deciding whether to report or cancel them, the Graduate Management Admission Council announced recently.
This new feature is available to all test takers and will take effect at approximately 600 test centers around the world that administer the GMAT exam that began on Friday, June 27, 2014.
Test takers are given the option of reporting or canceling their scores immediately after taking the test and before leaving the test center. Under the new process, test takers will see their unofficial scores — Integrated Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Total — and will be given two minutes to decide whether to accept them. If they do not make a choice, their scores will be canceled.
In addition, test takers who decide to cancel their scores at the test center will be able to reinstate them within 60 days of the test date for a USD 100 fee. After that, scores will not be retrievable.
To get the best out of this new feature
• Know what score you’re willing to accept so that when asked whether your wish to send your scores or cancel them, you have already considered your answer.
• Understand that you have 60 days to reinstate a score you might have canceled but decide later that you want to send.”
“This new feature empowers test takers to make a better decision in their efforts to apply and go to a business or management program of choice,” said Ashish Bhardwaj, GMAC vice president, Asia Pacific.
Analytical Writing Assessment scores are unaffected by the change. They are not included on unofficial score reports available immediately but are reported on official score reports delivered within 20 days.
The Graduate Management Admission Council, a nonprofit association of business schools, administers the test for use in admissions by more than 6,100 graduate business and management programs around the world.
