Subtle 10 point differences

by mba_aspirant911 » Fri Jan 07, 2011 6:33 am
I did the GMAT today and scored a 710 (Q48 V38). Yet I've read others with a similar score in Quant and Verbal with an even 700. I hope my score doesn't get revised downwards (unlikely).

But the scores would suggest subtle differences within Quant and Verbal scores. The differences in score of 700 (Q48 V38) to 710 (Q48 V38) may lie in the difficulty of some questions answered? I'm not sure to be exact..
