um, all of the other tests you mentioned are also available outside of the US. i took both the SAT and the ACT in japan.sss2534 wrote:Because GMAT is available in countries outside the US --- I think we can reasonably expect the restrictions to be even tighter.

@Kimjoohui - Thanks you for showing everyone that nothing is impossible !!!
GMAT is just a start and not the ends of any means..
After all it is life that matters and not any test.
IMO - This is inspirational and as you stated helpful to all facing a similar situation like you.
@Others (not Ron) - I think we are in the process of preparing/helping others in GMAT. So think critically and do not make assumptions. Ask questions for data (like - Ron did) but do not make assumptions without valid data points.
@Moderators - This is a unique story that does not come every day. If stories like these were present somewhere in this forum, it was very difficult to find as mentioned. So creating a separate topic with links to similar stories makes sense to all

If you have someone swearing regarding harder quant question, etc in some regions - Ask them to report the data to GMAC and then post it here. That is the correct way and not posting here without reporting that.sss2534 wrote:As is -- there are plenty of rumors making the rounds -- such as tests in China, Korea and India have harder quant questions, or that GMAT tests taken during certain times of the month or year are easier/harder. Most of these rumors are senseless but I have met enough people who swear by them.

I do appreciate the apology, as well as the support others have provided on this thread. I realize now that I should have, in my original post, written about the conditions that lead up to me being granted the 100% extra time. I do not want GMAT candidates thinking that obtaining disability accommodations is an easy way to obtain a high score. Hopefully, now that I have explained my situation, other potential GMAT candidates will have a better idea about what kind of circumstances they must be dealing with in order to qualify for the 100% extra time. And again, thanks so much for the support of those who have posted positively about my experience!
