OK - you've taken the test but you don't feel so great about your performance. What should you do?

Well, the bad news is, your score will automatically show up for the next five years along with any subsequent sittings for the GMAT, so even if you elect not to send the score to a school, when you do it next time, your score will be there. if this was your first sitting, don't worry. The good news is, even though schools see older, poorer scores, they will only consider your top score, so it shouldn't hurt you if you improve the next go-round.

The school is able to see also the score or just the fact that you have canceled it? If yes,why anyone should cancel own score?

I think I mis-interpreted your post. If you cancel your score while at the testing facility, it will not show up on your record if i am not mistaken. You can check with GMAC to be sure.

"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."
