Hi all!

Long time lurker, first time poster.

So with the GMAT score calculator...how accurate is it supposed to be ~recently~? I know this web app was launched a while ago, but I'm wondering if anyone has any insight into it's usefulness over the last year or two.

I got 710 - 740 on all the Kaplan tests and the calculator seems to weight my Kaplan scores heavily: 720 Kaplan with average performance under pressure becomes 750 actual GMAT.

Any and all responses are welcome!

720 (Q46, V44) -- in case that helps anyone. Lines up with the rubric provided in the first post.

GMAT Club Score Calculator is not working or what?
I am getting this exception:

Also, for similar issues, whom do I pm? I don't want to increase my post count over nothing!

Hello,

I have a query. If I have written the GMAT exam and sent the scores but I plan to appear for the GMAT again within a week. Can I send my new score again to the same university(within a week or 10 days, say.) and also what repercussions will this have?

Can anybody please clear this confusion. I am planning to write the exam next week.

Thanks!

Hi bb

I have a question regarding the table grid listing the scores in your first post. I got a 710 (Q48 V40) in my Gmat Prep mock. Your table says that the score should be 720. Is the score affected by bad timing strategy or by a particular section?

Thanks.

The sectional scores you see aren't as accurate as the ones used to calculate the total score. So either your performance in quant was a "low" 48 or your performance in verbal was a "low" 40 (as opposed to a "high" 48 or a "high" 40).

I have updated this topic with the latest percentiles in the first post.
In general, little has changed from the past few years, just some glacial changes in the quant percentiles and that's about it. Verbal seems to stay pretty resilient.
Thank you.

I scored a Q50 and V35 on an Official GMAT test yesterday and my score was 710. Wonder why it doesn't match the table here.

Maybe because the information was published 3 years ago

It doesn't really matter. The GMAC reports ALL GMAT attempts when scores are reported.

Taking your example: You score a 600, and then score a 750. The schools you report your score to after your second attempt will see the 600.

All scores, including cancellations, are reported to the schools you submit scores to.

I guess, it's best not to submit scores to the schools you really want to apply. Schools of your choice will have scores only when you have crossed the benchmark and apply directly with your score to them.

We have discontinued it a number of years ago. Most of the test prep company tests have gotten a lot better and a lot more accurate so there is no longer much need in it. Back when we developed it, you could easily have a difference of 100 points between your Kaplan test and your official GMAT. That has been fixed and changed. … 😎

PS. Also the calculator predictor stopped working and we would either have to rewrite it or decommission it and I chose to decommission it since it didn’t seem it was that valuable anymore or at least not as valuable as it used to be back in 2012.

I had a question about GMAT score validity. My score will expire in April 2022 and I am applying in October 2021 for Fall 2022 intake. My score will be expired by the time I join but will be valid when I apply. Will it be accepted?

Hi ss085,

As long as you apply before your Official GMAT Score expires, then you should be fine. Any Business Schools that are interested in inviting you to attend their respective Programs will confirm that the GMAT Score you list on your application matches the Official Score Report that GMAC provides for you - and that information will include the date that you took the Test. By applying in October of 2021, since your GMAT Score won't expire until 2022, you will clearly be submitting a valid GMAT Score for that timeframe.
