Yes, MBA colleges can see all your GMAT Focus Edition attempts—but only if you send the official score report. The report includes your entire score history from the past 5 years.

Top schools like Wharton, Darden, and Yale SOM have stated they consider your highest score, not how many times you took the test. Retaking the GMAT is common, and as long as there’s improvement, it’s seen positively.

For example, moving from 610 to 665 shows progress. Most top programs look for scores between 645–685, so it’s the final number that matters more than the number of attempts.

Hey
I have taken the GMAT three times. In my first attempt, I scored 550; in the second, 580; and in the third, 710. Should I send all the scores to the school, or just the third one since it’s the highest?
