Hello, I just took the GMAT this morning and I was excited to see my final score:

Quantitative: 47 (76th percentile)
Verbal: 47 (99th percentile)
Total: 750 (98th percentile)

I have not yet received a score for the analytical writing (AWA) section. My question is-- does the score from the AWA influence the overall percentile score (i.e could it move my 98th percentile up or down)?

It appears from the GMAT website that the overall percentile score relies solely on the Quantitative and Verbal sections but I would like to confirm.

Thanks!

Congrats on your awesome score! The AWA score is a completely separate component of your GMAT report. It does not affect your 750 or the subsection scores, or the related percentiles.

Thanks, yatleoj. I figured that was the case but wanted to confirm.

"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."
