Adding a new feature of previewing the scores the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAT) announced on June 26, 2014 that Prospective business students taking the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) exam will now be able to preview their unofficial scores before deciding whether to report or cancel them. The score reporting feature is available to all test takers and will take effect at approximately 600 test centers around the world that administer the GMAT exam beginning on Friday, June 27, 2014
According to Ashok Sarathy, GMAC Vice President, product management “The new score reporting feature gives test takers more certainty and control in the testing process and in how their scores are reported to schools. GMAC is committed to helping schools and students connect, and we believe this change, by making the testing experience easier, will be a part of strengthening those connections,”
Two minutes to decide after test
Test takers are given the option of reporting or canceling their scores immediately after taking the test and before leaving the test center. Under the new process, test takers will see their unofficial scores — Integrated Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Total. They will be given two minutes to decide whether to accept them. If they do not make a choice, their scores will be canceled.
Analytical Writing Assessment scores are unaffected by the change. They are not included on unofficial score reports available immediately but are reported on official score reports delivered within 20 days.
60 days to reinstate the scores
In addition, test takers who decide to cancel their scores at the test center will be able to reinstate them within 60 days of the test date for a USD 100 fee. After that, scores will not be retrievable. Mr Sarathy recommends two things to test takers to get the most out of this new feature:
-Know what score you’re willing to accept so that when asked whether your wish to send your scores or cancel them, you have already considered your answer.
-Understand that you have 60 days to reinstate a score you might have canceled but decide later that you want to send.
Ashish Bhardwaj, GMAC vice president, Asia Pacific says “This new feature empowers test takers to make a better decision in their efforts to apply and go to a business or management program of choice.
The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) is a nonprofit education organization of leading graduate business schools and owner of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT exam). The council is now celebrating its 60th year and the test is used by more than 6,000 graduate business and management programs worldwide.
