Can schools see later GMAT scores after sending your Score Report?

When you send them the report, they get access to all the "previous" scores taken and the score for which the request has been made. They don't get access to any tests taken after that. Good Luck.

The Schools will not be able to see your previous scores after cancellation. They have a see option, when you submit your score to them. This see feature is disable as you cancel your score.

Thats very smart thinking!

I think i might use this trick for my applications.

I think you may be overthinking this.

I'd prioritize the overall score if I were you, as your quant score is not low enough to warrant a retake. That said, I wish you all the best, and hope that your total and quant scores both go up.

AjiteshArun I realise that a 750 overall is a very good score - which is why I am anxious to ensure that I be able to use it for foreign universities. Unfortunately some of the Indian colleges I am eyeing have very strict section cutoffs. So the overall score - while important - doesn't matter at all if I don't meet their section cutoff (minimum of 49 in Quant). Of course, the best case scenario would be if I manage to up both my Quant as well as overall scores.

Congratulations on getting a V47!

I wish you all the best, and hope that your total and quant scores both go up. Give your best shot and hope for the best!!

Do update us after your exam and do post a debrief!

Good luck at improving your Quant score, but I can speak from experience when I say that maintaining a near-perfect score of V47 (99%) is going to be tough, meaning that even if your Quant improves, your composite will probably go down. This is probably worth the sacrifice, though, since there is more to a GMAT score than the composite (especially for the Indian B-schools to which you referred, who prioritize high Quant scores).

Basically, in order to score 99% (760+) you need a little bit of luck: you need to ace both the Verbal and the Quant in one shot, with very little room for error. Based on my ESR studies, I have come to these general conclusions about the (steep!) Verbal scoring scale:

51/51 = 0 wrong
48/51 = 1 wrong
47/51 = 2 wrong
46/51 = 3 wrong
42/51 = 5 wrong
40/51 = 7 wrong

For comparison, last test I scored a Q50/V42 and also earned a 750. If you get more than 2 wrong on Verbal, then you're doomed unless you score a Q51. Even then, the most you can afford on Verbal is 3-4 wrong to stay in the 99th percentile.

The Verbal section appears to getting tougher over the years, unfortunately--while the difficulty of Quant has not increased much, imo. Here are my Verbal scores over the years:

2012: 48 (-1)
2015: 47 (-2)
2016: 46 (-3)
2017: 40 (-7)
2017: 42 (-5)

Here are my Quant scores over the years:

2012: 47 (-8)
2015: 42 (-9)
2016: 44 (-12)
2017: 46 (-9)
2017: 50 (-6)

GMAT scores tend to vary 4-5 points in either direction on test day, due to random, somewhat uncontrollable factors and test-day pressures. And hey--the GMAT is hard. On Quant, study and drill your weaknesses again, then give it another go--no major harm done with 8 lifetime attempts.

I'm not saying that you can't make it happen...I just want you to know that you don't have much wiggle room on the 2018 version of the test. Prove me wrong!

Good luck,

Wow, congrats on the 750! I agree that HEC and LBS will see only your previous GMAT scores. So, just make sure not to send them your new score (in the case that your overall score drops).

Let us know how things end up on the GMAT.

Good luck!
