Hello ,

On my GMAT exam that I took a couple of months back I scored a 50 in the quant section . On my official score report my quant percentile was reported as 92% . However on the latest percentile rankings , I've noticed that a quant score of 50 corresponds to a percentile of 90% .

Right now if I send my score reports to schools , what will my quant percentile ? I did not select any schools to send my score to , during the actual exam .

Hello, George! First, congratulations on your GMAT score! You did really well! To answer your question, the percentile ranking charts are updated every year with the most recent percentile rankings. Schools will typically refer to the most recent percentile ranking chart, regardless of when you sent your scores. I hope that helps!
