how do you release your scores?

I get my scores back tomorrow and I have to release them to OMSAS immediately (I'm Canadian) since the due date is Oct 13th.

Just wondering: when you release your scores, do you release them all at the same time? This is my 2nd time taking the test, and I'd prefer if I didn't have to release my score for my first test.

Also, will you be charged money to release your scores?
How are these scores being "released?" Does AAMC send an electronic copy to the location you request to release it to?

Thank you for your help.

The THx system forces you to release all of your scores. It's free and there's an option to pick OMSAS when choosing what schools to send your scores to, so that pretty much covers you for McMaster, Queen's, Toronto, Ottawa, Northern, and Western if you choose OMSAS.

It takes about a day for the scores to be sent once you actually submit your request. They send the scores to the schools' FTP, where the schools can just update their system whenever.
