Dear Sir/Madam:
By frequently checking seat availability of Dalian test center in China,these days, I disappointedly find that only about two days are available
for us to take the test each month in these months. However, it is not enough at all especially in the following months since there are and there would be more GMAT
taker in Dalian than you expected.
What is also worth noticing is that I find the seats available of April in Dalian are at 23rd and 24th, and nearly no seat at other dates. It is also not reasonable since the two days
are so closed that in fact we seem to have only one choice-at the month end of April.
I wonder what reason make us have a so narrowed range of choice about the dates? Why could we have another day at another week?
And further more, what is happened in May? There are only seats in 8th and 21st are available,
and they all have been registered nearly one month ago. This fact obviously suggests that more people are willing to take the test than you expected before.
From my point of view, I think more GMAT taker would prefer take the test in the beginning or even in the middle of this month since we have a three-
day Labour's Day at May beginning.
Also this could be proved by the fact that even all the seats at the beginning half month of May in Beijing center have already been registered till now.
For myself, my expected day is 12 May, and I also believe it would be many taker's choice since it is the first day of a week and we would take the test
after a weekend's rest.
Admittedly, maybe someone would cancle or reschedule the exam about one or several weeks before the test, but if we offer more available exam dates of the exam,
there is no evidence to suggest that people who take GMAT would become less and instead I think the total taker in Dalian would be more than less obviously
since we have the opportunities to choose the nearest test center.
In fact, not only Dalian has this request. As you know, Beijing test center has test seats every day because it is our capital and more people would take this test there
as you expected. This is the truth but always the truth in some degree. I have always met some people who are from other cities near Beijing or not very close to Beijing,
including Dalian, in my last two experience in Beijing test center, and after talking to them I know that there are many people who could not take the test at their home have to
go to Beijing for the test. So I believed that more seats are needed in some other cities since many province jut have only one test center.
And more people in other province would like to take the test than you expected as I know.
Even if the total GMAT taker in China would not increase dramatically since more people could choice the nearer test center instead of go to big cities such as Beijing,
I believe more GMAT taker would appreciate your concern and effort and would like to take other of your test in the future.
For the reasons given above, I strongly recommend that you could concern my suggestion to offer more seats in Dalian especially in May 12th or a date near it.
And also it is hoped that other more seats would be considered in other cities according to your investigation.
Thanks very much!
