GMAC is introducing a new “GMAT Superscore” feature for GMAT Focus attempts starting in early August, designed to combine a test-taker’s highest Quant, Verbal, and Data Insights results across separate sittings into a single 205–805 composite. The feature is described as automatic and provided at no cost, but it changes the presentation of performance rather than how schools will evaluate applicants. The article highlights a strategy warning for candidates: several top business schools—including Stanford GSB, Harvard Business School, and Columbia Business School—state they take only one test sitting into account and do not use superscores. That means applicants may see a superscore on their report even if specific programs will disregard it in admissions decisions. For admissions offices and student recruitment teams, the change raises communications complexity: counseling must distinguish between score-report features and institutional evaluation policies. Overall, the move intensifies the need for applicants to read fine print on test-score usage and align testing plans with each school’s admissions framework.
