Hi i wrote my GMAT few days back .. Wen i went to the center to write the exam,I was shocked hearing that nothing printed thing is allowed inside even if its a tattoo.I have a (TEXT)tattoo on my write hand and the test center head says we cant allow u without reporting..If its the case GMAC should keep that in the guild lines of GMAT while booking the exam rather than informing such things at the exam center.

I spoke to Pearson Vue this morning. It is customary to inspect visible tattoos to ensure. An incident report if filed only so that Pearson Vue can document the inspection. It is not shared with schools and does not have any impact on your testing experience. I am sorry you were not properly notified of this policy in advance. I have passed your comments onto Pearson Vue.

Thank you!
