Test-takers will have 15 minutes to check into the online Pearson VUE proctored system and one optional 10-minute break. Just like the in-person exam, interacting with the test proctor via Live Chat will not pause the clock ticking down.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding check-in protocols, the GMAC has said, \u201cThe check-in and security protocols will be modified to accommodate online delivery and remote proctors will be used to manage test integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GMAT test-takers will have to pass a room scan in order to continue to the exam. You&#8217;ll have to take photos and videos of your desk area for a proctor&#8217;s review, ensuring that there are no pens, papers, or books in reach. <\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #c5168c;\">Scoring<\/h3>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve completed your online GMAT exam, you&#8217;ll get your unofficial GMAT score report immediately, then receive your official score report within 7 days.
