Can I purchase the ESR a little later?

Question

Hey folks! I am an Indian who doesn't have an intl credit card. GMAT/GMAC etc accept payments only via such cards and I made my exam fee and mock exam purchase payments using a friend's card. Meanwhile I applied for an intl credit card recently but due to some issue, it's taking time to be delivered

I remember reading in mba dot com that ESR will be available withing 24 to 72 hours of writing the exam. But my question is kinda the reverse. Until what time will I be allowed to purchase an ESR? Like is there a time window kinda thing for ESR? Beyond the window, we can't ask for ESR?

I am thinking of waiting it out a little and buying with my own card coz you know😅, it feels a little shy to keep asking help again and again. So please help me!

I believe as long as your scores are valid, you can purchase the ESR, so no need to worry.

The ESR can be purchased before or after your exam, but will not show any data until after you’ve completed the GMAT exam and your score has been generated. The ESR is available to those who have taken the exam after October 1, 2013, for five years after your exam date.  - MBA website

"Please Note: The GMAT ESR cannot be applied to a GMAT Online Exam."

Hi vedha0,

As has been said, you have as much time as you need to purchase your ESR prior to your GMAT score expiring! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Hi vedha0,

From what you wrote in your recent posts, you were scheduled to take the GMAT some time over the last week. Did you take the Exam as scheduled - and assuming you did, then how did you score?

As far as purchasing the Enhanced Score Report is concerned, the current policies state that you can purchase the ESR up to 5 years after you took your GMAT. That having been said, since the current version of the GMAT is supposedly going to end on January 31, 2024, if you plan to retake the GMAT after that date, then you will only have the option to take the GMAT Focus Edition. There are enough differences betwen the two versions of the GMAT that data from an ESR for the 'old' GMAT might not be quite so useful in defining all of the areas that you would need to work on if you are going to retake the 'new' GMAT. This is meant to say that if you are going to purchase the ESR for a recent attempt, then you should also be thinking in terms of retesting before January 31st.
