Topic: Manhattan GMAT Scoring
PostTue Nov 03, 2009 9:49 pm
Hi GMAT experts,

I recently purchased the GMAT sample test bank from ManhattanGMAT. On the 3rd test I scored a 630 (Q40,V36). The Quant was at a 61% (17/34 - timed out) percentile and the verbal (25/41) was at a 81% percentile. How does that work? How come my Quant was at a lower percentile rating but it actually was of a higher score? Does this seem right? I am aiming for high 600s in the real GMAT, and how off am I based on this practice?

From my research the Manhattan GMAT is 50 SD from the real GMAT, what does that actually mean to my scores?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

i've heard that you can expect your actual gmat score to be approx 30-50pts lower than the mgmat tests.

the quant and verbal scores are weighed differently so the scores and percentages will not be the same. your score is compared to others' who have taken the gmat over the last few years; it's not a static scale.
