I actually took the exam at two different testing centers and they were not consistent at all with how they checked people in. The first testing center I went to, had a very systematic check in system. They checked in people as they came in so when the break came, they weren't checking out 10 people...

Need your advice... I recently took the GMAT and filed an incident report because the center was experiencing technical difficulties with the new PalmSecure sensor, which cost me several minutes on BOTH the Quantitative and Verbal sections. As a result I canceled my score because I felt that these t...
