I recently talked to someone who told me that he got a scaled score of 52 in the quant section on GMATPrep. Moreover, he indicated that he knew someone who scored a 54 in the same section on GMATPrep.

I believed that the maximum you can score in any section was a 51. So has GMAC changed something or is the information provided by these guys incorrect?

Anyone else has some opinions/experiences to share?

Thanks,

Technically it's 60, but 51 is apparently the highest that has been reported. Two 51 will get you 800.

That's the point. I realize that on GMATPrep, even if you answer all questions correctly on Quant and Verbal sections, it gives u a scaled score of 51 on each, and a total of 800. That's what surprised me, since although GMAC says possible score is between 0-60, there is no way u can get more than 51. I have scored 51 in Quant on multiple occasions, and I believe that's the max one can get.

Yeah, I think this guy might be mistaken. I've never seen someone get higher than 51.

"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."
