Can someone please explain to me the strategy around score cancellation? Honestly just found out I get my score at the end of the test. Additionally, I am taking the test in a month but 2 years from even applying to schools. Should I send my scores to anywhere on test day?

If they’re not high enough, then cancel them. If you do well, send your test scores in.

You get five free scores to send test day but have to put $35 each after so if you score well send them

Maybe to help explain this i’ll give my expectations of my score on test day: I scored a 710 on my last MGAMT exam and took an mba.com test (hungover 🙃) and got a 690 even tho it was much easier than MGMAT. Got a month left and confident i’ll be around a 730 by test day..... so if I get a 690 on my real do I cancel??

If a 690 is not competitive for your program based on your other stats, I would cancel.

For example, if you’re from Harvard or MIT undergrad with a 4.0, a URM female, and run a non-profit on the side in addition to doing extremely well at PwC, then a 690 is probably fine for even an M7.

If you’re a white or Indian dude that went to NC state, keep trying.
