Please review the following information and ask the administrator if you have questions.

• Access to telephones, cellular (mobile) phones, or other communication devices, handheld computers/personal digital assistants (PDAs), pagers, music players, or other electronic devices will not be permitted at any time while I am at the test center, during the test session, or during breaks. Access to books, notes, and study guides is also prohibited while I am at the test center, during the test session, and during breaks. Violation of this policy could lead to confiscation of such materials by the test administrator and my test may be invalidated.
• No other personal items, including wallets, watches, purses, hats, bags, or coats, are allowed in the testing room. I will store these items in a secure area indicated by the administrator. The testing center is not responsible for lost, stolen, or misplaced personal items.
• Before I enter the testing room, the testing administrator will provide me with an erasable noteboard booklet and a marker. I will not use these materials until after the exam has started and will not remove them from the testing room at any time during the exam. If I need a clean booklet during the exam, I will raise my hand to get the administrator’s assistance. I will return these items to the administrator immediately after the exam.
• The administrator will log me in to my assigned workstation, verify that I am taking the intended exam and start the exam. I will sit in my assigned seat. I understand that eating, drinking, smoking, chewing gum, and making noise that creates a disturbance for other test takers are prohibited during the exam.
• I understand that the GMAT® Non-Disclosure Agreement and General Terms of Use will be presented to me first and that I must agree to its terms and conditions to be allowed to take the exam.
• To ensure a high level of security, the administrator will monitor me continuously while I take my exam. The session may be audio- and video-recorded for security or other purposes.
• If I experience hardware or software problems that affect my ability to take the exam, I will notify the administrator immediately by raising my hand. If I have other questions or concerns, the administrator will assist me as long as other test takers are not disturbed. The administrator cannot answer questions related to exam content. If I have questions of this nature, I will contact the exam sponsor after I leave the testing center.
• Some test center keyboards do not have the American/English layout but do support American/English characters. I will use ONLY standard American English characters when entering my responses, completing my essays, or completing the essay portion of mu exam. I will ask the Administrator if I need assistance.
• There are two (2) optional scheduled breaks during the exam: after the Analytical Writing Assessment and after the Quantitative section. These breaks will be timed. If my break extends beyond the time limit for the break, time will be deducted from the next timed section of the exam. If I choose not to take a break, I will not have additional time to work on the exam sections. I may also take unscheduled breaks during timed sections of the exam, if necessary. The exam timer will not stop during an unscheduled break.
• To request any type of break, I will raise my hand to get the administrator’s attention. The administrator will set my workstation to the break mode, and I will leave the testing room. The administrator may sign me out after I leave the room. Before I return to my seat, the administrator will sign me in and will then resume my exam for me.
• While I am taking a break, I am permitted to access personal items that I stored during the exam only if necessary—for example, if I need to take medication at a specific time. I am NOT allowed access to other items, including cellular phones, electronic devices, study notes, and guides and I understand that if I access any of these, the items may be confiscated and my score may be invalidated at any time.
• I will not try to record, copy, or disclose any exam question or answer, in whole or in part, in any form or by any means (orally, in writing, on any internet “chat room,” or otherwise).
• When I am finished, I will raise my hand. The administrator will come to my workstation and ensure my exam has ended properly. My score may be displayed on the screen, or I may receive a printed score report. If a printed score report is provided, I will receive it after I return the erasable noteboard booklet and other materials and the administrator signs me out.

Exam results are encrypted and transmitted to Pearson VUE and the owner of the GMAT, the Graduate Management Admission Council® (GMAC®). The test center does not retain any information after confirmed transmission to Pearson VUE. The palm vein pattern template and the digital photograph may be compared against those of other test takers for fraud detection purposes. For additional information concerning the collection, transmission, and processing of my  personal information (including without limitation exam results, digital fingerprint and/or palm vein pattern template, photograph and signature, and possibly the audio/video recording), I declare to have read and understood the GMAC Privacy Policy available in the GMAT Information Bulletin and at www.mba.com, a copy of which is also available at the test center where I will perform my exam.

In addition to what stated in the above mentioned GMAC®  Privacy Policy document, you shall be always entitled to the rights of art. 7 of the D.Lgs. 196/2003, which are integrally reported below (“1. A data subject shall have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him exist, regardless of their being already recorded, and communication of such data in intelligible form. 2. A data subject shall have the right to be informed a) of the source of the personal data; b) of the purposes and methods of the processing; c) of the logic applied to the processing, if the latter is carried out with the help of electronic means; d) of the identification data concerning data controller, data processors and the representative designated as per Section 5(2); e) of the entities or categories of entity to whom or which the personal data may be communicated and who or which may get to know said data in their capacity as designated representative(s) in the State’s territory, data processor(s) or person(s) in charge of the processing. 3. A data subject shall have the right to obtain a) updating, rectification, or, where interested therein, integration of the data; b) erasure, anonymization or blocking of data that have been processed unlawfully, including data whose retention is unnecessary for the purposes for which they have been collected or subsequently processed; c) certification to the effect that the operations as per letters a) and b) have been notified, as also related to their contents, to the entities to whom or which the data were communicated or disseminated, unless this requirement proves impossible or involves a manifestly disproportionate effort compared with the right that is to be protected. 4. A data subject shall have the right to object, in whole or in part, a) on legitimate grounds, to the processing of personal data concerning him/her, even though they are relevant to the purpose of the collection; b) to the processing of personal data concerning him/her, where it is carried out for the purpose of sending advertising materials or direct selling or else for the performance of market or commercial communication surveys).

If I do not follow the Rules, or I am suspected of cheating or tampering with the computer, this will be reported to GMAC and Pearson VUE, my exam may be invalidated, GMAC may take other action such as prohibiting me from retesting, and I will not be refunded my exam fee.

Having read and understood the above mentioned Privacy Policy document and my rights according to art. 7 of the D.lgs 196/2003, as above reported, by providing a digital signature, I give GMAC (Data Controller) and Pearson VUE (Data Processor) my explicit consent to process my personal data (including without limitation exam results, digital fingerprint and/or palm vein pattern template, photograph and signature, and possibly the audio/video recording) according to the modalities and of the purposes better described in above mentioned GMAC Privacy Policy document and, in particular, to retain and transmit my personal data and test responses to GMAC and Pearson VUE, both of which are headquartered in the United States, which may be outside of the country in which I am testing. I understand the information provided above and agree to comply with this Rules & Agreement.
