Vincia Prep guarantee - GMAT 655+

Measuring score improvement

We compare the GMAT score you get on your second official test after completing your program with us to your starting score, which can be :

  • or your last official GMAT Focus Edition score obtained before the start of your preparation program with us;

  • or the score obtained on the first mock test in your GMAT Focus Edition preparation program with us.

This mock test must be taken before the first scheduled lesson (or on the date scheduled for this first test) in a single session, respecting the official times for each section and break.

If you have an official authorization for extended examination times, you can apply these extended times to this test.

Attention Scores from a second attempt at the same mock test will not be accepted.

Only tests whose scores appear in your student dashboard on mba.com will be taken into account.

We'll then compare your starting score with the best score you've achieved in either your first or second official test after the end of the program.
