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.

scoring

well my question is how to factor the quant score and the verbal score. for example what is a verb 44 and quant 44 = what would that boil down to? also since verbal has more 4 more questions, does it count for more of your score?

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.

44 is a low score for quant

"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."
