How long will it typically take for me to get my official GMAT score report?

What Your Official Report Actually Includes
Once it arrives, your report shows your overall score, percentile rank, and section-wise breakdown, along with a performance review. The detailed Enhanced Score Report insight that once cost a separate fee is now bundled into this same free official report under the Focus Edition.
My Advice
Plan your application deadlines assuming the typical three to five day window rather than the rare twenty day outlier, so you are not caught off guard. If you genuinely need your score faster for a tight deadline, check your mba.com account daily rather than assuming a fixed delivery date.
