Day 3

by JCSantiago2012 » Sun Mar 10, 2013 3:32 pm
Finished day 3 by taking the old version of the GMATPrep practice test that does not have the IR. I could not go back and review what my score was and forgot to write it down. But I think I saw that I scored in the 19 or 19th percentile for math. I looked it up and this correlates to a 430 score just for the Quant section. Is this correct? I will post back again next time I take a practice test to see what I did to make improvement.

Your Total score (from 200 to 800) is based on your combined Verbal and Quant scores.
However, it's not uncommon for students to convert their individual Verbal and Quant scores to a Total score format to better understand things.

The answer to your question depends on whether your quant percentile was 19, or your quant scaled score was 19.

We can examine both scenarios using this chart: https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/gmat-scores ... means.aspx

Scenario 1: Your quant percentile score was 19
According to the chart, a Total score of 440 is a 19th percentile score

Scenario 2: Your scaled score was 19
According to the chart, a scaled score is in the 7th percentile.
From here, we see that a Total score of 360 is about a 7th percentile score

Either way, keep in mind that this is merely your baseline score. You are just beginning your studies.

Cheers,
Brent
