Hello,

I am not fully understanding how to read the score. For example:
Quantitative: 36/45%
Same for verbal section.
Can someone please explain?
Thanks,

36 is the weighted score. The max score is 51 (though rumour has it that the max possible score is, in fact, 60)

so--> 36/51 is ur score in the test

45%ile is the percentile, i.e. percentage of test takers who scored less than you did

so the max score for q is 51. is there to find out how many question were wrong?
What's the point of counting points rather than actual questions?
How many score for V section?
Thanks,

because the test is adaptive i.e. questions become harder/ easier based on how u r faring in the test, hence basing the score on purely the number answered correctly/ incrrectly would be flawed.

"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."
