GMAT Scaled Scores and Percentiles

by II » Tue Apr 29, 2008 2:11 pm
The GMAC OG Guides (OG 11, OG Quant, and OG Verbal) all have percentile ranking tables at the back of the book in the Appendix.
The data is based on examinees tested from Jan 2003 through December 2005.
So a Verbal score of 40 = 90 percentile
A Quant score of 49 = 90 percentile

These percentile rankings are a couple of years old now ...
Does anyone know if there is an updated source based on the data from more recent test takers ? If so, where can I get hold of this info.

Thanks in advance.

I scored a 40 on Verbal.

40 is now 89th percentile.

Thanks for sharing. This is what I was thinking ... the percentiles must have changed slightly ... just wanting to get the latest picture here. Dont know if anyone has it ?
