SAT/ACT/GMAT Scores

I recently applied for an Equity Research job at a MM. On the online application I submitted "N/A" responses for these standardized scores, then I networked and had an MD submit my resume. I got a pretty prompt response from the human resource and she asked me to provide these scores. Since then I have heard from one of the analysts to set up a phone interview. However, I have very low scores across the board and they are quite dated (5yrs for the GMAT). Can they verify these scores? Can I buy time to provide them as late as possible? Again the scores are terrible but quite dated.

Send them an email saying you have no way to verify the scores No scores/ unavailable scores are better than bad scores, because then they'll just try to judge you on something else (which you may happen to be good at)

Honestly, the banks rarely ask you to send them your scores, but rather to just provide a number. I say just tell them you no longer possess the account to your scores

Question on this as well. I have excellent SAT scores and GMAT scores but I have 5 years work experience. Is it a bad thing to include them on a resume at this point?
