Hi,

I am confused and need clarification that "Which score is considered for admissions in B-Schools?"

Test Day score - Quantitative + Verbal
or
Official Score - Received after 20 days of test (including AWA score)

Thanks

First off all, the scores will most likely be the same (maybe a percentile will change, but not much else).

After that, you should report on your application the most recent score you received. If that is unofficial because you haven't seen the official report, then report that. If you have received your official score, report that. Ultimately, schools will receive your official report from GMAC.

Hi Anuj,

In almost all cases, a Test Taker's Official Score will be the exact same as his/her Unofficial Score. If you have not yet received your Official Scores, then you can report your Unofficial Scores on the application. As long as you have arranged for the School in question to receive your Official Score Report, then the School will contact Pearson to confirm your information.

Thanks Jim,

I have not attempted test as of now. Will go for it in January, 2016. That will be my first attempt.
