Verbal 41-44-50, all vary with around 0-8 mistakes as in GMAT Prep. So its possible. Similarly in quant. Scaled score is non linear. Getting a few questions correct at certain points really propels the percentile when compared with certain other points. And I think this perfectly highlights the pro...

Third time's a charm...GMAT 760 (Q49/V45)

Hey all, I've been on this forum a few times, mainly to complain about my previous GMAT scores. Well now, for the first time, I can actually report success. I took the GMAT this past Saturday and scored 760 (Q49/V45). My first two tries were by no means complete disasters, but I was constantly disap...

Thanks Kevin, I’m pretty swamped at the moment but I’ll contact you soon. On another note, I just thought of something else that may seem obvious but just recently occurred to me. In my anger, I decided to calculate the mean and standard deviation of my various practice test scores to see how my...

Hi mj12g , I have the same feeling. I took the test yesterday and scored 640 ( Q 46 V 31 ) :( my previous score was 650 ( Q 48 V 29) (Last dec) .I thought I did the verbal section decently barring the last RC . I felt that more than 34 questions I attended in the math section were right. I got some...

Thanks ian...i actually took the gmat today and was shocked by how low my scores were: 44q/41v/700. I guess the gmat prep is not the best indicator of performance. Perhaps the best indicator is a random walk. I posted my disappointing results in the "I just beat the gmat" forum, but i thou...

You need to realize that a 46 verbal score is the 99th percentile, as are all higher verbal scores. A 49 in the quant section is 'only' the 89th percentile. True, although since I got a 50 in verbal on my first taking of the GMAT, I'm shooting for a 48-50 on my second try. If I can also pull off a ...

Thanks for the response. I'm not so much talking about the score as a predictor of actual GMAT performance (although that would be nice to know), but the accuracy of the software of transforming your responses into a real GMAT score. In other words, I find it hard to believe I actually got a 49 in q...

Thank Bryant, that actually makes me feel quite a bit better about my applications overall. I didn't realize that the initial rankings use only the composite score. One more quick question, if you have a moment (and I apologize if there are already multiple threads about this), but is there any evid...
