I received my GMAT Online scores via my mba.com account less than 48 hours after the completion of my exam!
Not bad for having to take notes with a mouse, but I also plan on taking advantage of the physical whiteboard retake option after June 11th.
I was hoping for a perfect score, but the good news is that I've taken the GMAT 6 times now, and my 700+ streak is still alive (700, 710, 730, 730, 750, 770)! I might not have the highest scores of any GMAT tutor, but I can stake a claim as one of the most consistent--even in my old age, taking the GMAT in a house with 3 kids and 2 dogs, without a physical whiteboard at 10 pm.
I am thinking that with the physical whiteboard I can at least bring the Quant back up to 49 or 50, since I've already scored Q50 on the test-center GMAT. Verbal is always a crapshoot, but I welcome another chance to try for 51, especially now that I know I can't do any worse than 730, since GMAC will allow you to keep the better of the two composite scores. In retrospect, I probably should have taken my time on Verbal more--I finished 25 minutes early, but I didn't feel rushed. Then again, I must have made about 5 mistakes (out of the 30 counted questions) to have earned a V42, based on my prior ESR studies.
I now have the luxury of taking my second GMAT Online exam and not worrying about a low score: if I don't score 740 composite or above on the second try, then the first score of 730 will remain on my account.
