GMAT TEST REGISTRATION PROCEDURE FOR THE PEARSON VUE GMAT EFFECTIVE JANUARY 2006. CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE NEW REGISTRATION PROCEDURE FOR GMAT TESTING EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2006 AND TO LEARN ABOUT THE IMPORTANT CHANGES TO GMAT TESTING AND GMAT TEST SCORE REPORTING EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2006. NEW! STANFORD WILL ACCEPT GRE SCORES FOR MBA ADMISSIONS. HARVARD AND PRINCETON WILL NOT HAVE EARLY ADMISSION PROCEDURE STARTING 2007.
Stanford Graduate School of Business has announced that it will accept GRE or GMAT Scores for admission consideration starting with the Fall 2007 admission to its MBA class. The reason appears to be that Stanford fears that minorities, women, and other ethnic groups may be deterred from Business School Admission and may seek alternative opportunities in law and medicine. Rather than accept lower GMAT scores from these otherwise excluded groups, the school may have decided to accept GRE (Graduate Record Examination) Scores in order to maintain the School average and median scores for the GMAT. Sounds like a clever move by Stanford GSB. We wonder whether other Graduate Schools of Business may follow suit or stick to their GMAT Score requirement.
Schools such as Harvard and Princeton University have already announced that they will eliminate early admission deadlines starting with the 2007 admission season. The reason, again, appears to be that early admission deadlines favor strong candidates and leave the not-so-strong to be rejected when they apply late. Schools desire to have diversity, with participation by hitherto under-represented groups.
GMAT TEST REGISTRATION PROCEDURE FOR THE PEARSON VUE GMAT EFFECTIVE JANUARY 2006 AND IMPORTANT CHANGES TO GMAT TESTING AND GMAT SCORE REPORTING: As far as GMATTM is concerned, ETSTM is history and nobody is shedding any tears over the divorce. Pearson Vue and ACT is the new 800 pound gorilla in the room now and you better get used to it. You should know about some significant changes to GMAT testing and GMAT Test Score Reporting effective January 1, 2006. Pearson Vue is the Electronic testing divison of Pearson Educational Measurement (PEM) group, which administers several standardized tests including the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT-Reasoning Test) for College Boardtm.
PEARSON EDUCATIONAL MEASUREMENT is in the midst of unanticipated controversy surrounding its handling of the Scoring of the October 2005 SAT test. Some 4000 of the close to 500,000 test-takers received score reports that under-reported their total SAT Scores by as many as 400 out of 2400 points. Pearson ED, the group of which Pearson Vue is a member, said in a news release, "SAT errors , which affected 4,000 students out of 495,000 who took that test, arose in part because of excessive moisture that caused the answer sheets to expand before they were scanned at its large Texas test-processing site. Another factor, PearsonEd said, was that its scanners were not picking up some lightly marked answers on the SAT answer sheet. The company, Pearson Educational Measurement (PEM), said in a statement that it was taking steps to make sure that "this unfortunate situation will not happen again." The latest news is that the executives at Pearson Educational Measurement are being called to testify before the U.S.A congress and explain why the scoring snafu did not make the testing company liable for messing up the admission and scholarship prospects for thousands of high-school graduates who took the SAT Reasoning test. What does this episode mean for the GMAT test-takers, who take the test on the computer? Nothing at all, we hope. The Scoring of computer adaptive or computer based test does not involve scanning sheets of paper that can stick to one another, and is more reliable. (Are we guilty of assuming that the computer will not mess up the scoring by going berserk?) Let us keep our fingers crossed, shall we?
The paper and pencil format of GMAT is now dead. GMAT is administered worldwide in Computer Adaptive Testing format only.
Walk-in registrations for GMAT Testing are no longer permitted. Prior appointments must be made for GMAT testing in all testing centers. You can register to take the test by following the Telephonic registration procedure described below or by logging on to GMAT TEST REGISTRATION ONLINE.
GMAT testing will not be offered on Saturdays and Sundays. Prometric used to offer GMAT testing on the Weekend days, including Sundays, in some cities. Pearson Vue would like to observe the Sabbath on Saturdays and Sundays. Register early in order to firm up your testing date.
GMAT test centers will no longer offer scratch paper during the GMAT testing. Instead, you will receive TWO dry erase NOTE BOARDS and a PEN that must be returned to the proctor at the GMAT test center when you leave or when you request a change of note-board. This is not a big deal but the earlier strategy of writing down (on scratch paper) formulas in Math will not work. You will be better off remembering all formulas and rules before you head to the testing center.
Test takers will no longer have to wait two to three weeks to get their official score reports by mail. They’ll be able to access their GMAT test score reports and send Official GMAT Score reports to schools through a secure online system.
GMAC will, at least for the forseeable future, offer “Paper in a Pinch” score reports for those who don’t have access to a computer. GMAC (Graduate Management Admission Council) will not charge a fee for this paper-based score reporting service until further advise.
When ETS was administering the GMAT, the official GMAT Score Report contained the last three scores on the GMAT taken in the past. Effective January 2006, Pearson Vue and ACT will report ALL GMAT SCORES obtained during the past 5 years. This is a significant change because the Graduate Schools of Business will know your GMAT Score history during a longer period and because you will not be able to 'wipe off' the record a GMAT score that you want to forget about.
The format of the GMAT will remain the same, and the GMAT test will continue to measure your skill in the three different assessment areas: GMAT Quantitative Assessment, GMAT Verbal Assessment, and GMAT Analytical Writing Assessment. The Analytical Writing Section will continue to receive a separate score on the same scale between 2.0 and 6.0; the two adaptive sections on the GMAT, the quantitative assessment and the verbal assessment, will each receive scaled scores (0 to 60) as before, and the TOTAL score on the GMAT will remain 800. The GMAT test-scores on the multiple-choice, adaptive sections(Verbal and Quantitative Sections) will be based on the number of questions answered within the allotted time.
COSMETIC CHANGES
The GMAT® exam will go through some cosmetic changes as a result of the transition from ETS® to Pearson Vue®:
The font and background color on the screen will change for the better
GMAT Reading Comprehension questions that point to specific sections of the reading passage will direct you to look at highlighted sections, not underlined sections as was the case in the past.
You will be given two (2) erasable noteboards and a pen when you enter the GMAT testing room instead of scratch paper and a pencil.
The Verbal and Quantitative sections will remain Computer Adaptive, with the difficulty level of the GMAT® testing constantly adjusting to your comfort level as demonstrated through your responses to the GMAT® questions.

Veritas Elite GMAT prep may scale back the number of training hours to accommodate its part-time, uncommitted instructors, as evidenced by an episode in Cincinnati, OH where Veritas Prep cut back the prep hours to 18 hours from 21 hours.
Veritas also fraudulently characterizes its 'retake the course for any reason' policy as a 'score guarantee'. Veritas Prep does not guarantee any specific GMAT score as MLIC does. Participants in Veritas' Weekend course in Vienna, VA have called to report that the instructor Ken Kleinfeld admitted to the clas that he had not taken the GMAT and that he was offering private tutoring sessions in North Carolina for SAT. Therefore, Veritas may also be fraudulently advertising that its instructors have all scored in the 99th percentile. Be informed. Be smart. Choose MLIC GMAT prep courses for no-nonsense, kick-ass, and serious coaching in GMAT assessment areas.
Manhattan GMAT offers 24 hours of in-class 'tricks' sessions that are taught by mostly non-MBA instructors. Manhattan GMAT (MGMAT) is the only GMAT prep company that does not believe that its training methodology is effective and, consequently, does not offer any guarantee. MGMAT has also been known to switch your registration in a class-room GMAT course to its expensive but useless GMAT VIRTUAL COURSE, if sufficient number of people do not enroll in its courses. Be smart. Be informed of facts. Think MLIC for non-nonsense and kick-ass GMAT coaching programs.
