Typically, unofficial GMAT scores (Verbal, Quantitative, Integrated Reasoning, and Total scores) are available immediately after completing the exam. Official scores, which include the Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) and a percentile ranking, are generally delivered within 7 business days and can be accessed online through the candidate’s MBA.com account. These scores are then reportable to selected business schools.
Timely access to scores is critical for prospective business school applicants. Understanding performance allows candidates to make informed decisions about retaking the exam, finalizing school selections, and managing application deadlines effectively. In the increasingly competitive landscape of graduate management education, having scores readily available facilitates a smoother and more strategic application process. The current reporting timeframe represents a significant improvement over historical waiting periods, providing candidates with more control and flexibility.
