General queries - GMAT

by Substatic » Thu Apr 23, 2009 10:05 pm
Hi,

I was just planning to give GMAT in a few months and was about to begin my preparation for the same. However I had couple of queries which I wanted to ask.

1) I am currently located in a country other than my native country(i.e. I am not a citizen here) temporarily. This is because of my Job. So can I give the GMAT here or do I need to give it only when I go back to my country ?

2) While registering for GMAT, do we have to provide the names of 5 schools we want to send our scores to ? Is it mandatory to provide them at the time of registration ? And what if you dont want to apply to those schools later on and apply somewhr else instead.

Hi Substatic,

1)You don't need to return to your country to take the test. You will simply need to register for the location where you want to test, and have proper identification (https://www.mba.com/mba/thegmat/testday)

2) It is not mandatory to provide names of schools when you register or when you take your test (I didn't). The schools you provide will receive your score reports, but you can decide to send score reports later to whichever shools you would like. The advantage of providing school names during registration or on test day is that those reports will be sent free of charge. Later requested score reports will cost you money.

Since you have a lot of time to prepare, I encourage you to browse the "I just Beat the GMAT" section of the forum for good preparation ideas. In my own debrief I list in details the strategies that worked for me as well as those that didn't work (www.tinyurl.com/gmatpost)

Best of luck!

Just to add:

You might as well pick 5 schools to which to send your score on test day, since - if you retake - the schools will end up seeing the first attempt's score anyway (all your scores from the previous 5 years are on your score report). If you don't retake, you'll just end up having to pay $30 for each score report later.
