Hi, I'm not 100% confident that I will receive my ideal score on my first try. Would it at all benefit me to opt out of having my scores sent on exam day, until after I find out how well I did?

As far as I can tell, the only downside is the additional cost of sending the score later. Not sure what the upside is to this strategy. Would schools see my first score no matter what?

Thanks

If you pretty certain about the schools that you are going to apply to then it makes sense to send the scores when you take the test. The only real downside at delaying is the extra cost. And you are right, schools will see your scores when you apply anyway though they usually only consider the highest score for your application.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
