What to Bring to the Test Center

What You Will Need at the Test Center

  • Acceptable identification as described in Presenting Proper Identification
  • The names of the GMAT® Programs to which you would like to send your GMAT® scores (see Selecting Your Score-Report Recipients). Note: you will not be allowed to bring notes with the names of these programs into the testing room.
  • The appointment confirmation letter or email you received from Pearson VUE. However, if you do not have your confirmation letter—or were not issued a confirmation letter—you will still be allowed to test if you have a scheduled appointment.

Items Not Permitted During the Test Session

No testing aids are permitted at any time while you are at the test center, during the test session or during breaks, and there is limited space for you to store your personal belongings. Testing aids include but are not limited to the following:

  • notes
  • scratch paper
  • calculators or watch calculators
  • watches, stop watches, or watch alarms
  • personal data assistants (PDAs)
  • telephones or cell phones
  • beepers or pagers
  • photographic devices
  • stereos or radios
  • any other electronic devices that could aid testing
  • books, pamphlets, or other study materials
  • dictionaries, translators, or thesauri
  • pens or any other writing utensils
  • rulers or any other measuring devices

Noteboards

The administrator will provide you with a booklet of five (5) noteboards at the start of your test. If you fill these noteboards during your test, you may request replacements by raising your hand. You may not remove these noteboards from the testing room at any time. Every noteboard must be returned at the end of the test session. You may not take your own noteboard into the testing room.

Contact Customer Service

If you have questions about what you can and cannot bring to the test center, please contact GMAT® Customer Service in your region.
