    I am writing to bring your attention to a serious issue I encountered during my recent GMAT exam. On 05/08/2023, I paid 300 USD+ tax to GMAC for the exam registration with the expectation of receiving a fair testing experience. However, I am deeply disappointed and frustrated by the events that transpired. Introduction: On 05/08/2023, I paid 300 USD + tax to GMAC for the GMAT exam, which was intended to provide me with a valid assessment for my business school applications. Explanation of the dispute: During the exam, I was informed, without any prior notice, that laminated whiteboards were no longer permitted. This sudden change in the rules was not clearly communicated in the exam regulations or any prior correspondence. Consequently, I was unable to use the materials I had prepared, placing me at a significant disadvantage and undermining the fairness of the exam. As a result, I now face the inconvenience and financial burden of having to retake the exam. Business's attempts to resolve the issue: Despite my efforts to seek resolution, including reaching out to GMAC's customer service representative, *******, via email [Ticket number: ******], I have received no response to my detailed message. Additionally, ******* sent a dismissive email, stating that any further communication from me would be disregarded. This lack of responsiveness and dismissive attitude demonstrates a failure on the part of GMAC to address and resolve the issue. Account/order tracking number: My GMAC ID is ************, and the appointment ID for the exam in question is ***********. These details should help in identifying the specific transaction and the associated records. In light of these circumstances, I kindly request a thorough investigation into this matter and a prompt resolution. As a paying customer, I expected GMAC to uphold its commitment to providing a fair testing environment and delivering on the services promised.

    As a person with a disability I would not recommend you take GMAT because even if they approve you for accommodations they then make it difficult for you to actually receive them with their cumbersome user interface that won’t allow to register online. And if you make that mistake then you have to go through a 3rd party PearsonVue to reschedule for an additional $110. So when applying to graduate school I recommend you take the GRE instead because not only is it now accepted by most graduate programs, it’s cheaper, it also has testing centers with better availability for weekends, and as a person with a disability you can easily register online.
