How bad is it if I didn't realize I should've cancelled both my scores

Hi kmecpp,

As long as you eventually achieve your GMAT score goal, I don't think your two lower scores will hurt you in any way, so don't worry about not canceling them.

Hi kmecpp,

Most Business Schools do not care if you take the Official GMAT more than once - so having more than one Score is not necessarily a bad thing (especially if you retake and score notably higher on your next attempt). The only Schools that will be granted access to either of your prior Score Reports will be the ones that you chose to grant that access to on the days that you took each of your prior two Official GMATs. If you did not select any Schools to receive that information at that time, then nobody will see those results (unless you pay the fee to have those Reports made available to a School). This is all meant to say that you likely have nothing to worry about in terms of your prior results. To earn a much higher Score though, we have to make sure that you aren't falling back on any 'bad habits' that you may have developed during your earlier studies.

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies going forward, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) On what dates did you take your prior Official GMATs and how did you score on each (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
