Hi! Do you guys have the new scaled score percentile yet? I couldnt find it anywhere. I can only find those with the 60 and 51 questions instead of 41 and 37.

I have talked to a lot of my friends who have taken the GMAT and they said it is just an experiment part which is not going to be counted toward anything. So I was wondering whether it is still an experiment. I have only one month left and have not studied IR or AWA yet. How much time do you think I should spend on those 2 parts?

Thanks.

Hello,

We're not entirely sure what you're referring to. Could you please clarify and/or reference where you saw this information and this story?

Thank you,

The 51-60 figure you see doesn't represent the number of questions - it represents the highest raw score you can receive in quant. (Though, to my knowledge, you cannot score higher than 51.) Your raw score is computed by an algorithm that takes into account the number of questions you answer correctly and the difficulty level of those questions. The percentiles that correspond to various raw scores can be found here: https://www.mba.com/us/the-gmat-exam/gma ... -mean.aspx
