Problem regarding date of birth

by rb90 » Mon Sep 06, 2010 12:07 pm
Hello,
im an indian national.I plan on taking my gmat end september.I was about to register when i realised that my date of birth in my passport was 6th september 1990 instead of 6th APRIL 1990.Considering the shortage of time,if the rectification is not confirmed soon,then would you suggest me to give my actual Date of birth or my passport date of birth for the GMAT.Also,all my school/college transcripts have 6th APRIL 1990 as my date of birth.
Please help.
I eagerly await your reply.
Thank You

rb90 -
Definitely give your real date of birth. If you do not, you only compile the problem. Contact the GMAT testing authority and explain the situation as soon as possible. One suggestion - can you take two additional forms of ID with you to the testing site? Or, get your passport correction paperwork in-process, and have that with you as well.
Good luck -
