Just sat the GMAT for my second time and got a (49q, 40v) but only a 710 overall? On my GMATPrep I got a 720 with a 48-40? Any thoughts on this?

I think a 48/40 yields closer to a 710 than a 720, but could go either way.

Two possible answers:
1) They are skewing the total scores lower
2) You scored on the lowest spectrum of a 49Q & 40V (meaning borderline 48Q & 39V). The GMATPrep, as accurate as it is, has not been updated in over a year.

My guess would be the former. I don't think a 49/40=710 is a travesty, however, it is on the lower end.

If I were reading apps, I would make absolutely no distinction between a 710 and a 720. Your score distribution is also very typical of a 700 score. You basically got the prototypical 700+ score. Don't worry.

I've seen a 720 with a 48 40 last year on the real thing.

The only explanation is that the percentiles are shifting and that its tougher to score high on the gmat with the same breakdowns this year :(

I believe you're right. I heard a (50Q, 40V) used to be 750, but now it is a 730.

I've seen a number of 720s with that score.
