Hi

My appointment was scheduled for 5.15 pm today & i was all set to BEAT the GMAT..when the test center executive suddenly tells me that my name in the passport is not exactly as it is registered with the GMAT and that is why i will not be allowed to take the test today. :shock:

My name in the passport is:
Boyapati Sandhya Venkatesh
(Surname)(Given names)

My name registered with the GMAT is:
Boyapati Sandhya Venkatesh
(First Name)(Middle Name)(Last Name)

Apparently though the order of my names is same the 1st name & the given name do not match.I have taken the test twice before (in Oct & Dec2008) with the same credentials. All i did this time is scheduled a new appointment without bothering or changing any of my credentials. I have requested the test center executive to report this incident & he has done so. i also have the incident number with me. Has anybody experienced such a situation before? Any suggestions on what is should do now & how i should take this ahead?
