Essays included in the final score?

by joshi.komal » Tue Oct 09, 2007 10:49 am

Hi Folks,

I would like to know if resultant score out of 800 includes your essays also or not?

Or your score just depends on the Q and V sections

Thanks
Komal

Moved to GMAT Strategy section.

To answer your question--the essays are scored separately from your quant and verbal.

Your essays are scored from 0.0 - 6.0. 6.0 is the highest score you can receive.

Best of luck!

Just to add to that...they're scored in .5-point increments. 6.0, 5.5, 5.0 and downward. Aim for 4.0 to be sure the adcoms don't ask you to retake, but anything 4.5 or better is best.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
