Unofficial and Official GMAT score

by Mr Ahmad » Wed Oct 10, 2007 10:48 pm
Hi all,

I have a technical question about the official GMAT score. I took the test yesterday and got a low score. I know most of you would laugh at my score but it is ENOUGH for me to get into school. I got a score of 430 and I am happy with it. It is too low compared to 600+ and 700+ you're getting but again it is enough for me.

The question is this. I did NOT write a single word at both writing assignments. The unofficial score report I got yesterday shows a score of 430. How much shall I expect my official score to be? Will it fall dramatically? Or it is going to be a slight damage?
Would it fall under 400, for example?? I hope it won't !!!!!


Thank You.

You're raw score of 430 will remain. However, you will get a 0.0 for your AWA...
