Good to know 2 things that have changed: 1. You will now see your scores BEFORE you decide to keep or cancel them - hooray! Also, why was it ever not this way?! 2. If you cancel your score it will NOT appear on your score report that you cancelled - it will be as if you never took the exam that day - hooray again!
the actual test itself isn't that hard. it's this whole extravaganza hassle thing surrounding the test that ultimately distracts you from the actual thinking process during the test. the security, the palm and facial screens, the administration of the whole process. 240 minutes of mental torture. apart from the questions themselves. I took it 3 times already. there really is no way of cheating on the GMAT. nobody knows where these questions are coming from.
Did anyone else get the up next video fergie fergalicious ?! How in god's name do these two videos link ? Anyway, my test is this Thursday, I am really praying hard I do well. What pisses me off though is that this test is no indication of motivation, ability and skill..What about the people who have "standard test" anxiety? I am doing excellent in my MBA however knowing that this test will determine whether i get into a PhD program or not is scaring the living crap out of me ...
what keyboard is used in the testcenters?? Always an english one? I consider to take the test in France, but the different order of keys on the keyboard might lose a lot of time by writing..
I'm from Germany, mechanical engineer and part-time entrepreneur (programming apps for smartphones). planning to do my MBA and yes, I think this test is....more or less useless for me =) but okay, it is necessary as an objective value for the bschools...
They forgot to mention the blood test and signing away your first born child! Seriously, they're just nuts these days. And they have far too much power in the admissions process. I've got a JD and am considering an hr degree to transition to a new career. (I shouldn't even have to take the test--I've proven I can do grad work!!!) Plus, I miss the old days of pen and paper testing. This makes it almost as stressful as the bar exam. Not quite, but too close for comfort for me.
The MOST awfull thing I ever did in my life_I am taking the exam tomorrow, the worst feeling ever. I am shaking like I am in tornado zone!!! Is like the correct comparison here_sh*t :(
I never passed this thing. I forgot how much I got - maybe 530. I ended up joining one of the Top consulting firm in the world - MBB - and now I am chief strategy of a multinational company. 3 lessons: 1) I lead from an optimistic view, I should not have spend time reading all the pessimistic views online, how hard the test is etc, that ended up crippling me 2) Now I respect people when they say they studied hard and just couldn't - have been always top of my class, it was hard to believe that I cannot do this. 3) Know your limits - try fail and move on. I ended up achieving my goals nonetheless. Life is too short to stress yourself with a test, there are million ways to skin a cat. Now I have experience and I know better. Good luck all of you!!!
Taking mine in 2 days and I already picked out a date for the second time. This test is too expensive and ridiculous, I took a bunch of the FINRA series tests and they were much easier compared to this test! ARRRGGGHHHH
The video is helpful, but all that "testing experience" talk toward the end makes me think about Portal. I will be especially weary if they offer me cake :)
Looks like a prison, heck it seems some chinese person used some frontman to do their GMAT in the past so they now force everyone do a palm scam for verification.
For all test takers out there just do these 2 thing. Study hard and be confident. Everything else will fall into place.

Thank you for the precision
The GMAT Strategy Do you have to repay for the exam or can you just reschedule it?
@@harrisn3693 if you cancel your score you do not get a refund, if that's what you're asking!
Thank you, Isaac! I have already listened to all of your podcasts 3/4 times...Feed me with more, please !!!
@@filippoiguera3224 haha you're so welcome! will do my best! keep going strong with your studies!
Do you have any new tips now that people have to take the test online?
does anyone know if the font on the screen is adjustable during the exam?
I don't understand the part about the score, choosing if you want it to count or not before actually seeing it?
Why are calculators not allowed? I feel like I'm in the 1940s.
Wish myself a good luck on the test day!

How does it affect my validity and verification of score If i have a SURNAME on my passport but not on my educational documents?
What sort of ID ? Its best to take Driving License / Passport to the exam. I always take my passport just to be on the safe side.
OMG.. I am going to take the exam tomorrow but I am still not ready yet until now. I don't even know when I will be ready. LOL..
What did you score?
$250 for taking the test and they ask you if you want to count it. yeah, i think i'll just cancel my score at the end........
Notice people are writing on paper in exam?
Is it allowed to bring pen and paper?

I wonder how much did all the test companies pay in lobbying fees to make sure this exam is considered important.
Urbanscape667 well they do fund the US military so....
Are ear plugs allowed while taking the exam?
@dionsgt How is $250 not expensive?
