Yes that is the case. Y'all cannot take it before 16 days. The restrictions are placed, then that you can set well for the next exam appointment. Just by giving the examination again and again might not practice wonders to your score.
The only reason you should sit down so early for the retake is when you had a really bad solar day on the examination day and had some external factors affecting your exam taking feel

Hi fast7,
While the sixteen-day 'waiting catamenia' might seem restrictive, it does serve several purposes (and as an bated, non too long ago the look was 31 days, then yous have information technology meliorate than y'all realize). Starting time, GMAC needs fourth dimension to create (and properly 'test out') Official questions. That 16-day wait is plenty time for GMAC to make sure that you lot don't see whatsoever of the same questions again, which protects the overall validity of everyone's Official Score results. 2d, since you can accept the GMAT upward to 5 times in 1 12-month menses, the 16-twenty-four hour period wait keeps someone from taking the GMAT 5 times in five days and potentially 'locking themselves out' from applying to Business concern School for a whole twelvemonth (considering their scores were also low and they wouldn't be able to retest until the side by side application year).
Regardless of your score results on September 10th, the GMAT remains the aforementioned consistent, predictable Exam that it's e'er been. So if yous choose to retest, yous Tin put in some extra study and train to score at a higher level.
1) Are yous facing any upcoming application deadlines?
2) What Schools are you planning to employ to?

Hi fast7,
While it'due south understandable that you lot would want every aspect of the awarding procedure taken intendance of sooner rather than afterward, you lot accept to think the competitive nature of the awarding procedure at each School. By definition, Concern Schools will likely turn down more applicants than they accept (at the loftier levels, it'south every bit much as 15 to 1 against), so you have to residual the 'speed' with which you put together your application(southward) with the 'force" of the OVERALL application that you're sending in. If your applications expect 'weak' or 'sloppy', and then the Business concern School Admissions Committees will know. This is all meant to say that you need to be diligent nigh this whole process and you lot have to call up your existent goal: to get into your outset selection Business concern School. That does Not mean that you lot have to apply 'as soon as possible.'

Hi sausumit,
Yep - y'all have to await 16 days between attempts at the At-domicile GMAT. Information technology's worth noting that each Exam-taker is currently immune JUST 2 attempts at the Calm GMAT, so you lot should NOT rush in to take (or retake) that version of the GMAT unless you lot are scoring at (or near) your Goal Score. In improver, the At-home GMAT attempts count towards the 5 Exam 'limit' in a rolling 12-month menstruum AND against your 8 Examination lifetime limit.
Before I can offer you any boosted advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
one) Accept you lot taken the Official GMAT? If you lot have, then how did you score?
2) How long have y'all studied? How many hours do you typically written report each week?
3) What study materials have you lot used so far?
iv) On what dates did y'all have EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you lot score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
five) What is your overall goal score?
six) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

It seems like there is no system restriction from selecting a date within the 16 days. So just curious to know if GMAC cancels appointments if they are booked for a date within 16 days of the previous attempt?

The system will commonly non allow you. However in the event that it does not, and the proctor or examination eye yet and so not grab it (unlikely) or some other issue allows yous to take the test, you will see the aforementioned questions and your score will not be accurate. Your attempt volition exist canceled and you will have to look for xvi days to retake.

Hi AleMene,
The 16-day waiting period is the number of calendar days betwixt appointments taken in one 'format' (re: two appointments at Test Centers or two appointments in the At-home format). Scheduling a GMAT at a Test Facility and scheduling an At-abode appointment have NO bear on on one some other though; you could technically take one of each on the same day - although I would NOT recommend that you practise that. If you lot score significantly lower on an Exam (in either format), and then y'all might not desire to 'rush in' too speedily to retake the GMAT (every bit there will likely be several aspects to Test Mean solar day that yous will have to specifically train for before you will be able to score higher (and that preparation takes time).
ane) Are you planning to accept the GMAT onetime shortly (and if so, and so when and in which format?)?
2) What is your Goal Score?
3) On what dates (or gauge dates) did you lot take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

How-do-you-do Rich,
Thank you for your quick respond.
I already did the Gmat on December and scored 700.
My goal score now is 750. I did an official mba simulation last sunday (7th March) and I scored 750.
I already booked a physical GMAT Exam the 18th of March. Anyway, I'm aware that it is a very high score to echo at the test day. following this reasoning i was wondering if doing a GMAT online test at abode (and so in a comfortable surroundings) before the GMAT at the test center could be a sensible idea.
i was thinking at taking information technology the twelfth of March as if information technology is a "mock test" before the 18th March one.
I would also like to inquire yous if GMAT Online and Gmat at test center are valued differentely by universities.
I'm at the second yr of Bachelor and i wanted to do a pre-feel main in Finance.
Universities I was looking for are HEC and LSE and in case I do such a great score equally 750 I would like to ship the application to Oxfrod Said Business concern schoolhouse.
I'1000 pitiful for all the questions simply in planning time to come I often find lost 
. If you too take whatever advice on universities or other things i can do i would be extremely happy to hear information technology.
Thanks very much for your time

Hi AleMene,
First off, a 700/Q47 is already an outstanding Score, so y'all can comfortably employ to any Programs that interest you. Equally such, a retest might not be necessary. Since you lot are interested in some highly-competitive Programs, you lot would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Skilful most your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to reply your Admissions questions and assistance define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/
At this signal, Schools all seem fine with the concept of the At-home GMAT Test - and no School or Plan has voiced whatsoever major concerns about comparing that Score to a traditional result from a Test Facility. There'south no way to know if that perspective might change in the hereafter though. All things considered, if you use at some point inside the side by side 5 years and you are a stiff overall applicant who took the At-home GMAT (and scored well on it), and then I would assume that a School would non "wait down" on your application considering Covid-19 may take essentially 'forced' you to have the At-home GMAT.
Since March 18th is just a little more than i calendar week away, you have to be careful well-nigh trying to do also much studying before then (and trying to 'squeeze in' Another Official GMAT is probably Not a good idea). The process of taking (and reviewing) a Cat/mock (or taking the Official GMAT) requires a meaning corporeality of energy and effort - and takes time to 'recover' from. This is one of the reasons why yous typically shouldn't take more than 1 Cat per week - and your last CAT should be taken about 1 week earlier Test Day. From what y'all've described, you take already taken 3 CATs in the last ten days - and nosotros exercise not want you to accidentally "fire out" before your Official GMAT on March 18th.
Y'all could potentially take one more than CAT in the time remaining and general written report/review would exist fine (although again, yous should not endeavour to do too much studying - so "cramming" would not be a practiced idea). In the last few days before your Exam, y'all should limit your studies to general do and light review - you would be better served by getting some extra residual so that you can go into Exam Mean solar day at-home, clear-headed and prepare to work.

Howdy AleMene,
A 710/Q48 is another outstanding performance - and I want to reiterate that with this Score, y'all can comfortably apply to any Business Schools that interest you lot (and the Q48 volition look a bit amend on your applications than your prior Q47 would). When applying to highly-competitive Schools, beyond needing a potent GMAT Score (which y'all have!), y'all'll also need a stiff OVERALL profile AND yous'll need to properly 'market yourself' to each individual Program that you use to. Equally such, I want to reiterate that you would probable detect it worthwhile to discuss your profile and plans with an Admissions Proficient.
