GMAT ONLINE - Unofficial Score or Test Taker Copy ?? [#permalink] New post   22 May 2023, 11:01
Hello Gmat Club members,

I will be writing the GMAT online and know that the official score will be available after 7-20 days.

The university says the official score should be submitted by July 05, but I am supposed to upload a Test Taker Copy as proof of attendance by June 15. (Means I have to take the test before June 15).

After researching for a really long time now, I am confused to the max - Can anyone answer me the following:

Is there any official document (Test Taker Copy, Unofficial Score) for GMAT Online graduates that you are allowed to download or PERMITTED to screenshot right after the test???

Because if not, I have to calculate the 20 days for the official score and lose almost 3 weeks of preparation time....

Thank you very much!

Hi. Welcome to GMAT club and this is a common question.

There is no option for a PDF or a score report with GMAT online. Instead, many people take a screenshot and use that and it seems to have worked in the past.

However, I would warn you that in some rare cases GMAT online is not reliable. Your test me get interrupted by a poor Internet connection or another event. Also, your score may get flagged for an administrative review.

As the result, if you have a time sensitive application, I don’t recommend taking the online version of the test. The test center is much more reliable.

See this post for a few more pointers:

Exams Taken Online: After the exam, when your unofficial score is previewed, you are not allowed to take a screenshot or photo of it, or write it down. You will receive an email notification when your Official Score Report is available on mba.com. Printout of unofficial score previews are not available for GMAT exams delivered online. - https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat-exam/sco ... your-score

Thank you all for your quick reply - That was also what I was thinking. I'm just wondering why my university wants a proof of attendance when there is no official way to get this...

Does anyone of you know if I can see inside my login area something like that I took the test on a specific date? Maybe a screenshot of this might work also.

I would give the folks in admissions a call to discuss all this.

Only a screenshot would work. You can see the list of your tests taken…. However the score may take a while to be come reportable or show up in case your score is flagged for a secondary review.
