I didn't know the answer to this question, but this is from mba.com:

If you repeat the test and want to resend your scores to programs that previously received your scores, you must reselect the programs at the time you take the test or order an Additional Score Report after your exam with the appropriate fee. Any repeated GMAT testing is subject to the GMAT retest policy.

Thanks for the response. Here's the thing, why do people freak out about how many times they take the GMAT if you have to send it to each school each time you take it? Do they get to see the score of each attempt but they just don't get the full official score report unless you select them at the time of the exam (or pay the $30)?

Apparently, if you send a score report, the school will see your score from every GMAT attempt over the previous five years.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for.
