Hi i wrote my GMAT few days back .. Wen i went to the center to write the exam,I was shocked hearing that nothing printed thing is allowed inside even if its a tattoo.I have a (TEXT)tattoo on my write hand and the test center head says we cant allow u without reporting..If its the case GMAC should keep that in the guild lines of GMAT while booking the exam rather than informing such things at the exam center.

Wow, I wasn't aware of this rule.
You might want to post this in the Ask the Test Maker forum.

Edit: I just noticed that you already posted it there. Your advice is very useful since a LOT of people have tattoos these days.

Cheers,
Brent

Damn, I too have text tattoo on my arm. Was there any kind of delay in your exam due to this issue?

I'm no expert, just trying to work on my skills. If I've made any mistakes please bear with me.

"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."
