Getting and sending your GMAT scores

Right after the test: report or cancel

When you finish, you’re asked whether to report or cancel your scores. If you don’t choose either one in the time allowed, your scores are canceled automatically. Decide before test day what you’d keep, so you’re not making that call under pressure.

When your official score arrives

GMAC says the Official Score Report is ready about three to five days after your test. It shows your total score from 205 to 805, your Quant, Verbal and Data Insights scores from 60 to 90, and the percentile for each.

You view it in your mba.com account, the same place you booked.

Sending your scores to schools

You pick the programs, and your scores go to them automatically. Each report includes the total and section scores from one exam only, and no earlier scores go with it. You can look at your official score first and then decide whether to send it.

Your exam fee includes some free score reports if you choose the schools soon after your score is ready. Extra reports cost more. GMAC’s Exam Payment page on mba.com lists the current number and fee.

How long GMAT scores are valid

Five years. If you took the GMAT a while ago, check the test date against each school’s deadline, not just the year you plan to apply.

GMAT Superscore

GMAC announced the Superscore in June 2026 for an August rollout. It adds up your best section scores across valid attempts of the current exam, whether you tested online or at a test center. It’s free, it shows in your mba.com account, and it’s included on Official Score Reports as an extra data point for schools.

If GMAC cancels a score

GMAC can cancel scores for a testing issue or a policy violation. The score report then shows a code instead of a score: T for a testing issue, P for a policy violation, S for a serious one. The attempt still counts toward your five tests in 12 months.
