自從2015年7月19日GMAT成績單不再顯示取消考試的“C”標記,寶寶們感覺可以更加愉快地刷分了。然,每次考完要在兩分鐘決定是否取消,依然讓人感到糾結。特別是那些說低不低,說高不高的分數,食之無味棄之可惜。
如今,這些都不是問題啦!
GMAC官網3月8日默默地發出消息,GMAT考生將有更靈活地選擇取消和恢復成績啦。具體如下:
此前,對于不滿意的成績,考生們可以在考試后立即選擇取消,并不用支付任何費用,也不會被申請學校知道(因為取消了C標記)。如今,你可以在考試后的72小時內通過上網選擇取消成績。該項費用需要支付25美元,而你將有更多的時間來思考是否取消成績。
有取消就有恢復,人嘛就是這么糾結。這次GMAC把成績恢復期延長到了4年11個月,即考完試之后的4年11個月想要恢復已經取消的成績都是可以的。此項服務的費用為50美金。一旦你選擇恢復成績,成績報告將會自動發送至你在考試當天所選擇的學校。
GMAC在此建議各位考生考前即對申請學校的成績要求和自己的目標分數有較為清晰的認識,而不要考試后盲目做出決定。

為了幫助大家更好地理解新政策,小編在此送上GMAC發布的原文供大家參考。如果你有困惑,不妨看看GMAC提供的三種參考情景,幫助伙伴們更好地利用最新的政策。不得不說,GMAC越來越人性化了!
GMAC, the maker of the GMAT? exam, has introduced an extended cancel and score reinstate policy that gives you more options and control of your GMAT experience — and confidence in your decision-making process.
GMAT test takers can now cancel their score immediately after their exam at the test center at no additional cost. The “C” that represents a candidate’s cancelled scores will not be shown on any future GMAT score reports. This feature will be applied retroactively to all previously cancelled test scores, which will be removed from all future score reports that are sent to schools. You can cancel your score immediately after taking the exam at the test center for free. Or, you can cancel your GMAT score online within 72 hours after you complete your exam.
We recommend that you know your desired GMAT score range and carefully consider your criteria for cancelling or reinstating scores before you take the GMAT exam.
Greater Flexibility in Retaking the GMAT Exam
For added convenience, you can also reinstate your cancelled GMAT scores online, up to four years and 11 months after their exam date. After your GMAT score is reinstated, a score report will automatically be sent to the schools you selected on the day of your exam. Cancelled scores will not appear on any GMAT score report sent to schools. If you cancel your score, no one will know but you.
Think Before You Decide
Consider the following scenarios to see where and how you may use these features.
Scenario 1: Leah’s pre-test strategy is to achieve a 700 and to cancel if her score is below 650. Leah’s score preview shows 650. She’s disappointed but accepts her score at the test center. Leah continues to feel more and more disappointed after she leaves the test center. She doesn’t think she can get into her top choice schools with a 650. She cancels her score online two days after the exam.
Scenario 2: Jeremy’s pre-test strategy is to achieve a 700 and to cancel if his score is below 650. Jeremy’s score preview shows 640. He cancels the score at the test center. Jeremy talks to his friends over the next several weeks, researches schools, and decides he wants to apply to schools with his 640 score rather than retake the GMAT. Jeremy reinstates his score online three months after taking the exam.
Scenario 3: Caroline takes the exam without a pre-test strategy. Her score preview shows 620. She accepts the score after the test because she wants more time to think. She realizes she isn’t happy with her score. She cancels it online three days after the exam and decides to put off her GME plans. Three years later, her career has stalled and she wants to re-pursue GME. She does some research and realizes the 620 is within range of her target schools. Caroline reinstates her score three years after her exam.
