Overview
GMAT scores are retained for 10 years from your exam date.
If your exam was taken more than 5 years ago, your scores are considered expired and require additional processing before they can be sent to schools.
Scores older than 10 years are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered or reported.
Can I Send GMAT Scores Older Than 5 Years?
Yes. If your GMAT exam was taken more than 5 years ago but less than 10 years ago, you may request to send an expired score for a fee.
Expired score requests require additional processing time.
How Do I Request Archived GMAT Scores?
To request archived score reports, you must complete the Expired Score Request Form.
Expired score reports are not available through the standard online score reporting workflow in your mba.com account.
Who Can Request Expired Scores?
You may only request archived GMAT scores if you have not taken another GMAT exam within the past 5 years.
If you have a more recent GMAT exam on record, schools should use your newer reportable scores instead.
Do Schools Receive Any Notice About Older Scores?
Yes. Expired score reports include a notice advising programs that the scores are older and should be interpreted with caution.
How Long Does Expired Score Reporting Take?
Expired score requests require manual processing and may take longer than standard score reporting.
Standard score reporting timelines do not apply to expired scores.
Can I Send GMAT Scores Older Than 10 Years?
No. GMAT scores are permanently deleted after 10 years and cannot be recovered or reported under any circumstances.
