Points To Keep In Consideration

You May Cancel Your Scores

The only opportunity that you will have to cancel your scores is at the test center. Immediately after you complete the test—but before you view your scores—a message will appear, asking if you want to cancel your scores. You cannot cancel your scores after they are displayed or reported to you.

If You Cancel Your Scores

• They cannot be reinstated.
• You will not receive a refund for the test.
• A score cancellation notice will be sent to you and the schools you selected as score recipients.
• The score cancellation will remain a part of your permanent record and will be reported on all future score reports.

If You Do NOT Cancel Your Scores

• You can choose to see and print a copy of your unofficial scores for the multiple-choice sections of the GMAT™ (Quantitative, Verbal, and Total).
• An official score report, including the scores for the Analytical Writing Assessment, will be mailed to you and your designated schools about two weeks after you take the test.

Invalid Scores
