Testing center camera

by Mr Ahmad » Mon Sep 17, 2007 9:21 pm
I have a question.

At a GMAT testing center what if the CCTV camera shuts down and does not work. Will the test be postponed automatically? If yes then who would decide the new test day?

If the test will go without interruption, would the broken camera affect the score? I mean would it be written in the score report that the test was taken under broken camera?

Just wanted to know an answer of the above.

I would try calling the testing center to find out the official answer.

I like to know what happens at all possible scenarios...
I am so unlucky guy!!!

I don't know the answers to your questions - I've never heard of the cameras breaking. However, the rooms also have a big interior window and a live person sits on the other side and watches the room, so presumably that person's observation is adequate to ensure that people aren't cheating, etc.
