Hello Friend

I need to understand the relationship between raw score and percentile ?
Can two candidates who have say 50 in quant, have the different percetile score in Quant section?

If they have the same quant score, I would assume they would both be in the same percentile.

If they have the same quant score the quant percentile will be the same. We have seen cases in which two people had the same scaled score in quant and verbal and their total scores differed by 10 points.

I have been getting 50 in MGMAT test but the pecentile in quant shows 95 percentile. I assume that making 51 will hit 99 percentile. So is there no one in 96,97 nd 98 percentile.

Is is charactrstic of MGMAT.

getting into the 99th percentile in quant on a MGMAT test is very difficult! i would imagine that if you're consistently scoring 50 on the MGMAT cat exams... you just may be able to reach that 99th %ile on the actual GMAT seeing as though the mgmat tests are harder...
