Right now, I am just studying for the gmat and not applying to schools, which I assume is what everyone does. Question is, after I take the test and report the score, how do I access the score later on to submit it to mba programs when I apply? Where is that info stored to where I can access it to send to schools?
Thanks,

This is actually a rather more complicated question than was acknowledged in the two answers above. First of all, the 2 minute timeframe at the end of the test is not to let you
report your scores - it's to let you
cancel them. Meaning, if you realize you did much worse than you expected, you have a chance to wipe them out and they won't go to the schools.
There are several scenarios to keep in mind with this and you should set up your strategy ahead of time for below what score you would cancel at. We covered this important issue in a series on the EssaySnark blahg - here are a few of the relevant posts:

Sending score reports to schools can be done for free when you take the test or upon payment of a fee thereafter. Again, it helps to set a strategy in advance (especially for a re-test and/or for reapplicants).
Hope that helps! Good luck on your test, Dan!!
