If you're wondering how this score translates to your actual GMAT score--there's no way to know that. The best way to get a decent range of your actual GMAT performance would be to take a GMATPrep test.

Hi Enginpasa1,
As there are only 37 questions in Quant and 41 in Verbal, to bring them to common ground
They both are scaled to (0-60) means if you get all 37 right in quant it will equal to 60 ,
Similiarly 41 in verbal will equal to 60.
A table is provided in OG towards the end, to roughly show how your RAW score ( number of correct answers)
Convert into the SCALED score (0-60). GMAT will always represent your SCALED score.
Hope this answers your question.
Cheers,

Hi Blue_lotus,
The scoring system you mentioned is used on the paper tests but I don't think translates onto the computer based testing. According to the GMAT website it is very rare to score over 44 on the verbal and over 50 on the quant. A score of 44, 44 will probably translate anywhere between 700 and 720. I don't think you'd want to target pin-point scaled scores though as this wont help you and there is really no way of understanding the scoring algorithm.
