I've heard that 760 is only marked as 98th percentile these days. Is this correct?

Oh, ok. Because I do know that 750 used to be 99th, but is only 98th today.

I scored 760 on both of my GMAT preps, but I'd love to score in the 99th percentile so I could tutor it part-time while in school. I'm poor, I need extra income.

Math is by far my weakest area. I only got 47 on my first prep, and 49 on my second. I'll see if I can get it up to 50. I scored in the low/mid-700's on my SAT a couple of centuries ago. I'm pretty rusty.
