On 15 June 2026 GMAC said it would introduce a GMAT Superscore. The feature automatically takes a candidate’s highest section scores, across all valid attempts of the latest GMAT edition, and combines them. Attempts at a test centre and online are treated the same way.

Where it will appear
GMAC said the Superscore would sit in each candidate’s mba.com account and appear as an additional data point on the Official Score Reports that business schools receive. It is not a separate product and candidates will not pay extra for it. The announcement gave August 2026 as the expected roll-out.
The release did not set out every rule. GMAC pointed candidates to a detailed FAQ for questions such as which attempts count, and that FAQ later confirmed that 10th Edition scores and expired or cancelled scores are excluded and that the Superscore uses the 205 to 805 scale without a percentile.
Why it matters
Until now a score report showed the results of a single sitting. Candidates who did well in Verbal on one day and in Quantitative on another had no way to show both on one report. The Superscore changes that, and it fits with GMAC’s earlier removal of the lifetime attempt limit in 2024. The five-attempts-in-12-months rule still applies.
What this means
If you are planning a retake, you can now aim to lift one weak section without worrying that a weaker result elsewhere will cancel out your earlier work. Keep in mind that schools still see your individual exam scores and that the Superscore cannot be hidden. Check your target schools’ admissions pages for how they will read it, and look at your mba.com account once it shows a Superscore.
