A new feature in GMAT score reporting has been added by GMAC to help the test takers to preview the scores. The additional feature helps Prospective business students taking the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) exam to preview their unofficial scores before deciding whether to report or cancel them.
The score reporting feature is available to all test takers and has taken effect at approximately 600 test centers around the world that administer the GMAT exam.
Earlier in 2014 when the new score reporting feature was added Ashok Sarathy, GMAC vice president, product management said “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,”
GMAT takers have 2 minutes to decide after test
GMAT takers are given the option of reporting or canceling their scores in 2 minutes 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 2 minutes to decide whether to accept them. If they do not make a choice, their scores will be cancelled.
Analytical Writing Assessment scores will remain 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
If GMAT takers who cancel their scores at the test center, wish to reinstate them, they can reinstate the cancelled scores within 60 days of the test date for a fee of US$ 100. After that, scores will not be retrievable. Mr Sarathy has shared 2 tips to test takers to get the most out of this new feature
1. 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.
2. Understand that you have 60 days to reinstate a score that you have cancelled and can decide later that you want to send them.
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.
