How to get a 710...

by mjjking » Tue Mar 24, 2009 3:49 am
Guys, what are in your opinion some Q+V combinations that would land me at least a 710 on my gmat?

Is q44 v42 one of these? 45q 41v? What else?

thanks!

You should Google the score combo you're interested in and see if anyone has posted that same combination on this or another GMAT board before. I just did a search for "44Q 42V" and found someone who scored a 700 with those raw scores.

If you look through the "I just beat the GMAT" section you will get a very good sense of where different score combinations land.

Yeh, I was amazed too to see that a couple of ppl got a 700 with 44/42!
And while many get a 710 with Q45 V41, a small number of them get only 700! This is scary!! :cry:
I'm aiming at a Q45 V41, (and in my gmatprep that was equal to a 710), so let's hope for the best!! :)
