Hi,
So I took the GMAT today and score a good score but I believe I can improve it by 20+ points. I am wondering if I can do the following -
- cancel today's score, take the exam again after 16+ days, see if i scored higher then than today and then decide which score to keep. If I score higher in the future, I will keep that score but if I score lower then I would like to reinstate today's score. Is that a possibility.
Or is it safer to just keep today's score and also have an additional attempt shown which is higher (if lower in the future, I will definitely cancel)
Thanks!

Hi akshatg92
Welcome to GMATClub
If your score is in the range of the schools you intend to apply to, there is no need of
canceling the score. There is nothing wrong with taking the exam for the second time.
As you have written, if you get a score lower than today's you can cancel the score in
the second attempt.
Another thing to note is that most B-Schools consider the best of your scores. In any
case, if you end up scoring higher than this attempt during your second attempt, you
will benefit.
Hope this helps you!

Hi akshatg92,
If your score is decent enough then why would you want to cancel it. If the next score you get is lower than this then cancel that score for free right at the test centre. But if you get a better score then it is no issue having two attempts on your records. But if you want to be all very safe in this situation then you spend $25 to cancel and $50 to reinstate, that's it.
If you accepted your scores at the test center, you have the option to cancel your accepted score online up to 72 hours after the completion of your exam.
Yes, you may reinstate a previously canceled score for a fee ($50). Canceled scores can be reinstated up to four years and 11 months from the exam date. If a score is reinstated, the score report will be sent to the initial list of schools that you selected on test day. You cannot modify the list. You will, however, be able to be able to view the list of schools receiving your reinstated score prior to confirming the reinstatement.
