However, your GMAT result will be cancelled unless you accept the unofficial scores within two minutes. If you are unhappy with your GMAT result, you can cancel it. The GMAT scores that were cancelled do not show on the score report, and the GMAC will not send them to your score recipients.

Check the official websites of the universities you are applying to and ensure you have all the required documentation. You have to upload a digital copy of these documents as part of most university admissions processes. Some universities may also demand you courier a copy of these documents to the college.
