I am writing the GMAT on Friday and don't know if I should be sending the results to schools. I have not yet applied, and likely won't be applying until the first or second round.

Given those facts, should I list schools to have the results sent to?

I don't imagine schools would keep GMAT scores on file though without an application, so it seems like I should just skip that section. Still, it seems worth checking; I'd rather not have to pay for all of the reports that I will send out if I can avoid it.

Thank you for your thoughts!

Yes, send your scores to the schools when you take the GMAT! If you don't, you will have to pay $28 per school later.

I took the GMAT in 2010 and sent my scores then. The schools still had the score when I applied this year, so don't worry about that.

I think you can choose 4-5 schools to send your scores to on the day of the test, and later you can order score report and send to additional schools but it will cost you.
By the way, I read a few days ago that the GRE will give you the option of sending to schools only one of your tests instead of your entire tests history.

Yep, that is correct. You can read all about it in the GMAT official site.

"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."
