My mba.com account profile now says "Score reportable". What does that mean - that my AWA has been graded and reportable to schools? If yes, then when do I get to see my official report? I believe once the scores are reportable, they are sent to schools within a week.

Any ideas!!

Beat the GMAT.. 770 Q 51 V 42

Took my test last Saturday and I can say that I BEAT THE GMAT. Most of Quantitative was easy (comparable to OG), but Verbal was too tough compared to OG. 2 of the RC passages (including the long one) were too complex and convoluted and took away a lot of my time. Same goes for CR, with most of CR ar...

all the very best for the exam. look forward to see ur next post in "I Beat the GMAT" section. BTW, MGMAT Quant is definitely lot tougher than GMATprep and hopefully the actual GMAT. MGMAT Verbal is not that bad though. So for Verbal, is there a consensus that doing OGs with MGMAT Strategy...

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 5...

Maximum Possible Scaled Score in Each Section?

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...

Help Analyzing Test Scores and Strategy to Improve Verbal

Buzzing Stacey, I have been studying for a month now and gave some practice tests, with the results given below. I realize Verbal is my problem area, but seem unable to improve too much. I have been studying using the Manhattan Verbal Guides, but it's lot of material and I am having trouble keeping ...

okay. suggest you to write the CAT. It's very difficult to correlate paper based test scores to the actual test scores.

what i don't understand is that since you got the number of correct answers, how come you didn't get the total score of the percentiles? You took the test on GMATPrep right, so what's the issue here?

Hi, I recently took two actual GMAT tests. My scores are as stated below: Test 1 Quant: 32/37, Verbal: 36/41 Test 2 Quant: 30/37, Verbal: 36/41 Can someone please give me an idea what these would translate into actual GMAT scores. I made quite a few silly mistakes on my quantitive sections, which I...

I gave the GMATPrep Test 1 twice and there was definitely less than 10% overlap between the two instances. Between PowerPrep and GMATPrep, there is no overlap. However, I found the PowerPrep questions to be relatively easy, so don't know the validity of the same. The surprising thing is my scores on...

I wrote the free online Manhattan GMAT test today and scored 730 (Q51 and V38). I struggled in Quant (never happened with any other tests) and had to guess quite a few. Barely managed to finish the section. I actually thought I did quite good in Verbal, and finished with 15 minutes to spare. Therefo...

PowerPrep is the older version and was administered by ETS. It is slightly easier than GMATPrep. Google it and you should be able to find the application somewhere.

So the split was V48 and Q34 or other way around? If this is what you have, definitely worth a try..
