Exam Day

To add to what ScottTargetTestPrep mentioned:

1. You can select (up to) 5 programs at the exam center. The fee for this is included in the $250 you pay for the GMAT exam. This selection has to be made at the beginning of your exam (before you start solving any questions, and therefore before you see your scores).

2. You can buy additional score reports ($35/report) any time after your exam for a valid score (5 years at most).

3. Score reports don't include scores from any future (GMAT) tests, but they include scores from all tests taken in the last 5 years.

4. Once you've authorized Pearson to make your score report available to a program, that program will be able to access that score report through its systems for as long as your score is valid. This is irrespective of whether you ever apply to that program.

5. Once you actually apply to that program, they will (or should) verify your score before offering you admission.
