Hi,
Well, say my school is XXX.
In the list when we finished the exam, there was no XXX.
So I chose YYY.

Today I took a look at GMAT Test Taker Copy, and saw YYY as my institution. -_-''

Will it be OK? What should I do? I have no intention to cheat.

I have specified schools to send score already.
But I intended to take it again. I'll fix it the next time, is it OK?

Hey Torofish,

You know, I'd bet with over 300,000 GMAT tests taken per year that at least a handful of others have made the same mistake. I can't see any reason why GMAC or the schools would want to punish you for an honest mistake, so I'd recommend that you just contact GMAC Customer Service (https://www.mba.com/mba/service/contact ... SLSwitch=1) and ask them if they can change your information in their computer so that it's reflected accurately when schools see your score report. It may not even matter at all if you're planning to take it again, but I'd say that just the peace of mind is worth the few minutes on the phone or sending an email to GMAC.[/url]
