Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, testing is suspended in several locations worldwide. GMAC ist actively working with testing centers to respond to this very difficult situation.
Beginning in mid-April GMAC will launch an online proctored alternative to the GMAT exam. The test will offer a comparable structure, time, and scoring as the exam delivered in the test centers. The Quant, Verbal and IR sections (no AWA section) will have the same number of items and the same time for completion. This will allow to maintain the same score scale for both the Section Scores and Total Score.  
The check-in and security protocols will be modified to accommodate online delivery and remote proctors will be used to manage test integrity.
The alternative test will be available in impacted markets, outside of mainland China. GMAC is continuing to work with the Chinese government authorities to present appropriate, alternative solutions for test takers in mainland China.
GMAC´s goal is to open registration for an online proctored alternative to the Executive Assessment at the end of April. The test will be compatible with both Mac and PC, and will offer a comparable structure, time, and scoring as the exam delivered in the test centers. The check-in and security protocols will be modified to accommodate online delivery and remote proctors will be used to manage test integrity.
