Great question!\u00a0 The short answer is that you get most<\/strong> of your GMAT score right away, as soon as you are done with your test, and the rest<\/strong>, the whole kit-and-caboodle, about 20 days later.\u00a0 Before we can clarify that answer with greater detail, we need to discuss a couple other questions.<\/p>\n As you may know, after you walk in<\/a> to the Pearson testing facility and get settled at a computer, your official GMAT consists of four sections, in this order:<\/p>\n 1) The Analytical Writing Assessment<\/a> section (AWA, 30 minutes)<\/p>\n 2) The Integrated Reasoning<\/a> section (IR, 30 minutes)<\/p>\n 3) The Quantitative Section<\/a> (75 minutes)<\/p>\n 4) The Verbal Section<\/a> (75 minutes)<\/p>\n Once you begin, you will be allowed an optional 8-minute break between #2 and #3, and another between #3 and #4.<\/p>\n See also: Introduction to the GMAT<\/a><\/p>\n Basically, you get a kind of “score” for each of the four separate sections, as well as an overall GMAT score.\u00a0 Thus, the score report contains:<\/p>\n 1) your AWA score (half-integers from 0 to 6), with percentile<\/p>\n 2) your IR score (integer from 1 to 8), with percentile<\/p>\n 3) your Quant subscore (0 \u2013 60) with percentile<\/p>\n 4) your Verbal subscore (0 \u2013 60) with percentile<\/p>\n 5) Your total GMAT Score (200 \u2013 800), with percentile<\/p>\n The total GMAT Score is derived from #3 and #4, from the Quant & Verbal subscores only; the AWA score and IR score have absolutely no effect on the total GMAT score.\u00a0 The total GMAT score is certainly the most important number here, and for some test-takers and some folks in adcom, this is the only number that matters at all.\u00a0 According to at least some sources, the IR section may be gaining traction<\/a> as an admission tool.\u00a0 The AWA score is arguably the least important<\/a> score on the GMAT score report.<\/p>\n See also: Understanding Your GMAT Score Report<\/a><\/p>\n Now that we have discussed exactly what’s in the score report, when do you get each piece?<\/p>\n First, as soon as you press “submit” for your last question on the GMAT, when you are emotionally exhausted and in a highly vulnerable state, the the computer will give you a preview of your overall GMAT score and ask you if you want to cancel your score<\/a>.\u00a0 This is the very first time you will see the most important number.\u00a0 Obviously, it’s extremely important to be strategic and to have worked out in your mind well beforehand for what kind of score you would cancel the whole GMAT.<\/p>\n If you choose to cancel your score at that moment, you don’t see anything else.\u00a0 You can choose to re-instate this GMAT within 60 days, to the tune of $100.\u00a0 Essentially, that’s a financial penalty you would pay for not thinking strategically enough and carefully enough beforehand.<\/p>\n Let’s assume that you don’t cancel your score.\u00a0 After you are done with the computer, you raise your head, and some Pearson person will lead you out of the hermetically-sealed testing room.\u00a0 Immediately outside that door is a desk, and someone at that desk will magically hand you a print-out: your initial GMAT score report.\u00a0 This will have everything except the AWA score, because it takes time to grade the essay.\u00a0 Thus, moments after your GMAT is done, your will be holding a sheet of paper with your total GMAT score, your Quant & Verbal subscores, and your IR scores, all with percentiles.\u00a0 Technically, that piece of paper is unofficial for legal purposes.<\/p>\n About 20 days later, you will receive the full GMAT score report, everything including the AWA score, either by snail mail or electronically (you will have told GMAC before the test how you want the official report mailed to you).\u00a0 Once you have this, you can tell GMAC to send copies to any business schools you want\u2014of course, for a fee for each report.<\/p>\n The official GMAT score report, with those five numbers, is what GMAC automatically supplies to each and every GMAT taker.\u00a0 That information is free (i.e. included in the cost of the GMAT itself).\u00a0 If you want a more detailed analysis\u2014for example if this was a first GMAT and you decide you want to analyze this one to plan strategically for a retake\u2014then you choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 This data-rich document will show you your breakdowns, percentiles, and time spent in each question formats.\u00a0 Thus, you can see if you’re much stronger or much quicker on, say, Sentence Correction than on Critical Reasoning.\u00a0\u00a0 Having this information might inform how you structure your studies for a retake.<\/p>\n Many of the linked articles in this blog will provide more information about these topics.\u00a0 If there is something about this topic that we haven’t addressed, or if you have had unusual experiences acquiring
