GMAT Score Sending and Official Score Report — Full Explanation
Score reporting options: Standard (5 free to schools of your choice on test day), or post-test reports ($35/school). Cancel an unwanted score before seeing it — cancellations are noted on the official report. Reinstating a cancelled score costs $50 within 4 years and 11 months. GMAC recommends sending scores only to schools where your score is at or above the median, but many applicants submit to reach schools regardless.
