GMAT score reporting before official score release

[wang10]

Dear Stacy Blackman,

I took the GMAT 3 times, 650 in October, 680 in November, and 660 yesterday. Actually I haven't reported any GMAT scores to any schools yet to wait and see what's gonna be my highest score even though I will apply many schools at the 2nd round in January. The yesterday result was very disappointing. Therefore, I wonder what if I ask mba.com to report before the official score of 3rd test comes out, probably today or tomorrow.

Will The official report which schools will receive only include results of first two tests? And is it possible to send my score report at this moment without 3rd test result to schools with deadline in February?

Look forward to your advise soon.

Dear wang10,

You will want to request your highest test score report sent. It might not show your 3rd attempt since it came after your high score. Unless the official reports have changed recently, it will only show your first two attempts since you are requesting the high score be sent. I would encourage you to send the score as soon as possible to ensure the official report is there by the time you submit your application.

Good luck,
Lisa
