Alongside superscores, GMAC has also introduced official digital badges, giving GMAT test takers a new way to showcase and share their performance.

According to a recent announcement sent to eligible candidates, these badges can be used as a verified credential across platforms such as LinkedIn, resumes, and professional profiles.

The badges are currently priced at $15 each and are issued through Accredible, a digital credentialing platform.

After logging into my mba.com account, I noticed that GMAC offers badges tied to both overall GMAT performance and individual section achievements.

Depending on your score, you may see different badges available for purchase in your account.

Once purchased, the badge becomes a shareable digital credential that can be posted on social media, embedded on websites, or added to professional profiles.

For example, after purchasing my Total Score badge, I received a verified credential with sharing options available for platforms such as LinkedIn and other social networks.

This appears to be part of a broader trend toward digital credentialing, with professional certifications, universities, and testing organizations increasingly adopting verified badges as a way for candidates to showcase their accomplishments online.

While official GMAT score reports remain the standard for business school admissions, these badges provide an additional way for candidates to publicly highlight their achievement and connect it directly to GMAC's verification system.

If you haven't checked already, head to mba.com -- you might have few badges waiting for you. Curious to know if you see value in showcasing your GMAT achievement through these badges, and would you consider purchasing one?

My major concern is that these badges aren't included with the official score. Having to pay for each badge feels a little excessive and could discourage adoption.




I know... the payment part seems like a pay to play, so you are not earning them but buying... but who knows. It works with Twitter to pay for the blue checkmark.... maybe you can have a Premium GMAT account without test-taking limits like every 16 days 😂

When you earn such scores, they should be delivered to your doorstep physically, saying thank you sir. You chose us as your elite exam

Sort of.......

Looks more like part of a trend towards maximising revenues to me :)
