Hi All , I wanted to reschedule my exam , but when I login I see following message -

"Service Unavailable


Standard maintenance is being performed on the site. The service you requested is unavailable at this time.

Please return in a few hours to attempt to access the desired service. "

Its been 3 days now and every time I click on the reschedule Tab above message shows up. Could any one give some insight on how I can reschedule my appointment now that i just have 8 days to go .Kindly help .

Our appointment scheduling system has been down for several days now. We are working closely with Pearson Vue to resolve the issue. At this time we do not have a timeline for resolving the issue. Candidates who are unable to reschedule their appointment before the seven-day full cancellation fee as a result of this issue will not be charged the full cancellation feel.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Hi,

I'm having the same issue. I have an exam scheduled for May 7 and I'm trying to reschedule to June. I'm unable to get through to a GMAC rep thru phone or email. Please advise on next step.

Thanks much!

My sincere apologies to you both for these issues. At this time we do not know when the issue will be resolved. Please be assured that Pearson Vue is looking at every possible solution and is working as fast as they can to get the system back up and running. Candidates who are already scheduled for the exam are able to test as scheduled. If you need to reschedule and are unable to do so outside of the 7-day window because of the system outage, you will not be charged the full $250 rescheduling fee.

Hi,

I was trying to reschedule my brother exam date, when is today at 12 pm (he is ill and could not take care of that, so he asked me to do).
I can not go through the last part of rescheduling, the message says that I can not do that on line, would you please advice me in this regard, he is terribly worry to miss exam.

I have another question, if he reschedule his exam, is he able to take it next week or he needs to wait till next month?

Thank you,

Hello, Athulr. You may need to contact Pearson Vue directly to reschedule your appointment on the same day. You can find the contact information for your area here: https://www.mba.com/service/contact-us.aspx. You do not need to wait the 31 days if you do not take the exam, so he can reschedule for next week. Please note that you will need to have a doctor's note in order to waive the rescheduling fee. Thank you.

Hi team,
I am trying to access the ESR for my previous attempts of the GMAT.
However, I am unable to access the ESR. Moreover, even the GETlink button besides the attempts have disappeared.
All the ESRs have been purchased officially and I hold receipt for each of the purchases.
I have already mailed to the email addresses given on the website but of no use.
Kindly help in this issue.
