  • The Enhanced Score Report is available to those who have taken the GMAT exam at a test center after October 1, 2013, for one year after your exam date.

Yes, the ESR authentication code can be applied to a GMAT exam which has been cancelled by the test taker, however it cannot be applied to a GMAT exam when the score was revoked due to policy violation.

The ESR is an online tool, which provides a printable format.  Due to the differences in how web browsers perform, results may include breaks that are inconsistent with what is viewed on screen.  An alternative method is to select “View Text Version” then utilize your browsers print function. 

The data used to create the report comes from your unofficial score. Since the AWA is not included in unofficial scores, it is not included in the ESR.

Because the IR section has only 12 questions and several different question formats, there is not enough information at a smaller level that could provide more meaningful feedback than that of the full section results.

Section scores are calculated based on three things: the number of correct questions, the difficulty of all questions, and the number of questions answered (i.e., the penalty for not finishing). Because each sub-section may differ based on each of these three factors, then the full section score will not be an equally weighted composite of the sub-sections.

Some users in China have reported issues viewing the graphical elements of their Enhanced Score Reports. If you have trouble viewing your ESR, please contact us.

Currently, the Enhanced Score Report is not available for GMAT exams delivered online.
