| 16 | Bottom | The GMAT has updated their policy. Students have a lifetime limit of 8 exams. | However, within those restrictions, you may take the test as many times as you wish. | Beyond those restrictions, there is a lifetime limit of 8 tests. |
| 16-17 | Bottom-Top | The GMAT has updated their policy to allow test takers to take the exam no more than once within 16 days (instead of 31). | 31 days | 16 days |
| 17 | Middle | The GMAT has updated their policy on canceling and reinstating scores. | If you elect to keep the scores, they will become part of your GMAT record. If you elect to cancel or if you do not make a choice, the scores will be canceled; you will then have 60 days to reinstate the scores for a $100 fee. Unlike an advance cancellation, though, this retroactive cancellation will appear on your official score report—that is, business schools will see that you sat for the test but did not submit a score. You will also have to wait 31 days to take the test again. | If you elect to keep the scores, you will have 72 hours to cancel your score online for a fee. If you do not cancel within that time, they will become part of your GMAT record, and remain valid for 5 years. If you elect to cancel or if you do not make a choice, the scores will be canceled. Once canceled, you have 4 years and 11 months (roughly the length of time the score would have been valid) to reinstate the scores for a fee. This retroactive cancellation will not appear on your official score report—that is, business schools will not see that you sat for the test but did not submit a score. You will also have to wait 16 days to take the test again. |
