I just read that now when you take the GMAT you have to have your palm scanned, so that they know it's you and not somebody impersonating you.
Is cheating really a problem? It can't be cheap to hire somebody to impersonate you and take the test. I can't imagine it would be cheaper to hire somebody like that than to invest in a good test prep course. Who in their right mind would do that?
I also wonder how much it's going to cost GMAC to invest in these new biometric scanning machines... However much it costs, it will undoubtedly raise the cost of the tests, making it that harder and more expensive to apply for MBAs...
