Hey everyone, I’m facing a stressful situation with my GMAT score and would really appreciate some advice.
I took the GMAT Focus at test center on Aug 29, 2026 and received an unofficial 715 (Q90, 90th percentile). However, my official score report is still showing “Pending” on mba.com.
I had no rule violations or unusual incidents during the exam. The only minor interaction with the proctor was a warning to stop shaking my leg due to exam anxiety, which I immediately followed. I also haven’t received any email saying my score is flagged or under administrative review.
GMAC support told me the score is undergoing routine quality-control checks, which can take up to 20 business days and cannot be expedited.
The issue is that my Round 1 MBA deadlines are approaching, and I don’t remember my exact Verbal/DI scores—only the 715 total and Q90.
What should I do? Should I submit applications with the unofficial/estimated scores and let the schools update them once the official report arrives? Has anyone faced something similar?
Any advice or experience would be really appreciated!
