Unlike the old GMAT where you had to select schools before seeing your score, the Focus Edition allows you to select 5 programs for free after you receive your Official Score Report. You have up to 48 hours after your official score is posted in your mba.com account (usually within 7-20 days of the exam) to send these 5 free reports. If you miss this 48-hour window, you will have to pay USD 35 for every school you wish to send your scores to. This gives students the advantage of knowing their exact score before deciding where to apply.
