Relation between Quant / Verbal scores and GMAT score

by amvins » Tue Oct 02, 2012 2:51 pm
Hi,
My target school requires each section (Math and verbal) scores above 75 percentile. This means that the individual eligible scores would have been at least V36/Q48. Now, from the scores reported on this site, this combination (V36/Q48) should generate a total score above 700.
The contradictory part is that some of the ex-students of that program have total GMAT score in the range 640-660. Is it then possible for them to meet the program's 75 percentile requirement per section?

In other words, can you score below 700 while meeting or exceeding individual section scores V36/Q48?

Thanks.

According to my records, a Q48/V36 is not always a 700 - it's at least sometimes a 690 score. It would never be a score as low as 660, though.

A Q46/V35 combination is usually around a 660 score, and those scores now correspond to the 73rd and 74th percentiles, so perhaps they aren't absolutely strict about the 75th percentile requirement.
