Include the score when it is strong, recent and allowed by your school's recruiting format, but it is not always mandatory on the resume.

A strong test score can provide another quantitative signal, especially if your prior academic record is less obviously analytical. If the score is average, the space may be better used elsewhere.

Follow any school-specific resume template or firm instruction first. Some MBA recruiting processes capture test scores separately in the application system.

Do not let the score dominate the education section. At the MBA level, recruiters also care about your professional trajectory, leadership and overall application quality.

Our consulting resume template had a standard spot for GMAT, so everyone just followed it.

I included mine because it was strong. If it had been average I probably would have used the space elsewhere.

The MBA process moves fast, so I would rather get one direct answer from recruiting than build a plan around assumptions. In my case, the exact timing around should i put my gmat or gre score on my consulting resume mattered most.
