Best thing to do is to call them. I don't think it would be a big issue, just bring plenty of proof you are who you said you are.

Seeing how today is a sunday, I called the Asia number.

The guy told me that first name and last name is fine. Well, still a bit worried.

Worst case scenario - get rejected on Tuesday, come back and register for Wednesday's paper. $250 down the drain.

Just have to stay calm and stop panicking, I'm at the peak now.

Kaplan CAT - 640
Princeton CAT - 660
MGMAT 1 - 660
GMATPrep 1 - 740
MGMAT 2 - 670
MGMAT 3 - 690
MGMAT 4 - 710
GMATPrep 2 - 760

Just hope all this anxiety over a small detail doesn't screw me up. Even considering registering for the same exam time with my first middle and last name just to solve the problem once and for all.

Thanks for the help.

Trust what they told you and RELAX! This is so not worth worrying about. Most people probably don't register using their middle initial.

You will be so peeved at yourself if you blow the GMAT because you're worrying about this!!!

thanks man, really appreciate it. Day of relaxation today. Will go tomorrow with an open mind! Trying not to think about it.

turns out the middle name is not a problem.

On a more cheerful note, got a 740 (97%) today. Q49 V42.
Was hoping to get a 760, like my GMATPrep 2, but can't complain. Now the application nightmare begins.
