GMAC's merchantish approach

by Night reader » Fri Nov 26, 2010 6:28 pm
Hi, I find compelling that GMAC does report all previous scores of its test takers to the selected schools. By doing this, GMAC may instinctively force some test takers to stay in darkness about their post-examinee looks in the business schools' eyes. This may be reason that many test takers look after several consecutive attempts to fix their desired scores' average after they had failed at least once.

See also, the information available at this web-link https://www.mba.com/mba/thegmat/gmatscor ... scores.htm

"Invalid Scores

GMAC and/or Pearson VUE may cancel or withhold scores if, in our judgment, there is a good faith basis to question the validity of the scores for any other reason. Evidence of invalid scores may include, without limitation, unusual answer patterns, unusual score increases from one exam to another, inconsistent performance on different parts of the test, or failure to obey exam administration rules."

It says, that GMAC may cancel your score increases but will not bother itself with your low score patterns occured in the past.

Overall, I consider GMAC with its step-by product - the GMAT exam, a form of disease which we need to pass through. In reality, it should not take more than half-minute reading of the well-formulated essay of a graduate applicant (or one's SoP) to kill an echo of the past scores reported by GMAC. I consider GMAC a type of all-time-greedy organization with its compelling objective to report all the past scores to schools.

We can sustain this!

Well, I have not yet heard of anyone,even with 150 point increase, having his/her score cancelled. So do not worry.

phew, mine has got to be 310+ increase to get into mid-point for PhD. Yes, stupid was it from my side to report the score of 420. After my first GMAT registration I saw two-month sheer idling and socializing; I appeared not only cold, but also late, not slept and exhausted for the GMAT exam (Q25, V22). I relied on my post-MBA skills, professional designation knowledge and lots of staff unrelated to GMAT. Stupid was this, I know!
