This may sound silly but it is very important for me to clarify.

I took my GMAT on 23rd of NOV and got a decent score of 710.

But in the process, I think I have accidentally selected my GPA as 3.8 and the official score report has the same. But my actual GPA is no where close to it. Also, we do not have a formal practice/procedure of measuring GPA in India.

Should I ask for an other official Score Report(with the correct GPA or atleast the GPA field being blank) OR will it suffice if I can mention this small mistake in my Application?

I think it would be best to provide accurate records in your applications. Getting your correct GPA reported may be as simple as one phone call to GMAC or your testing office, and a reprint of your report.

Best of luck!

Sorry for the delayed reply, but I completely agree with Eric! Just make sure you have an accurate representation on your actual application.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
