GMAT score

[saurabh]

hi guys I got one confusion ....

I was under impression that maximum score for verbal and analytical is out of 52 but recently I got Kaplan premier program 2007 ed and it states that teh score is out of 60 each !!!!!!

can anybody comment on this ....

the score u get in V & Q is out of 60. ie 60 is the max score.
but dont get into that crap. not at this stage at least.
i took a mock 'QUANT test' once & i answered every q correctly- still i scored 55:-(. i couldnt figure out where did those 5marks go.

I think you cannot score more than 51.

51 is max.
btw i m very much new to all the GMAT and its concept how it works & all :roll:
but still i read this somewhere that you cannot score more than 51.

[aim-wsc]

i know that. 51 is max. Everyone talks about that.

but then i think the test i am talking about must not been quite standard as it gave me 55 as my Q score.
the test is our very Quant sample (demo) test you get @ www.800score.com it is available freely
you can get it too.

Yes, it is a very complicated subject. No one really knows, since the algorithm that GMAC uses to score the GMAT is secret but we do know that 51-60 is the math scaled score for a 99% score.

It could be that it runs from 51 to 60 because of the experimental questions are included or it could be based on a point system when they are distributing the questions (in other words, if you get all the questions correct and the test has to give you a 99% question but the only ones it it's databank are geometry questions yet you are due to get an algebra question, it must give that type of question too you, etc.)

ok i wont ask much now
thanks.

so its a secret huh!
:roll:

nevermind
why should we get into all that crap?
yes i said that before.

lets try our best to answer every question correct.

& let GMAC do rest of job.
