It says that 51 is the highest for both sections.

It does look like the range varies. I too need to confirm this.

This is a good question--the answer is that both Kaplan and Manhattan GMAT are correct. The verbal and the math sections in theory are is scored from 0-60 (raw score): https://www.mba.com/mba/thegmat/gmatscor ... orereports

However in practice, it's impossible to get more than 51 points on a given section. In fact a perfect 800 would still be a 51/51 type breakdown.

Bottom line: consider your top raw score for each section to be a 51.

Hope that helps! I know, it's weird.
