They will give you a hard copy of the unofficial score report. You may scan that and send it to the school. Most schools allow candidates to take the GMAT up until the last day of the deadline. Check FAQs on their website. Finally, make sure to report your scores to your preferred school while entering 5 schools during the exam.
