Here are a few GMAT Online success stories:
Previously GMAC had allowed a retake for only those people who either had a technical issue or who took the GMAT Online before the physical whiteboard was allowed.
Here is the information about the last announcement (not relevant now)
For test takers who took the GMAT Online exam before the ability to use a physical whiteboard (June 11, 2020) was made available, we are offering the option to take the GMAT Online exam an additional time. We are waiving the one-time limit on the GMAT Online exam, so you now have the option to take the GMAT Online exam an additional time.
When can you schedule your GMAT Online retake?
You will now be allowed to take 5 attempts at the GMAT online exam in a year.
How will your score be recorded?
Higher Score on the Additional Attempt
If you score a higher GMAT Total Score on your retest GMAT Online exam attempt, your score will be available to you within 7 business days in your mba.com account.
Your new, higher score will replace the prior score displayed in your mba.com account. If you previously selected any programs to receive your first GMAT Online score, your new, higher score will be automatically sent to these programs. You will also have the option to send your new score to additional programs at no additional cost.
Important note: Although your higher score will be sent automatically to your schools (previously selected for your prior GMAT Online Exam score), we recommend you follow up directly with your schools. Notify your schools that you have an additional higher GMAT Online score to ensure that this score is factored into your application.
