Impossible to calculate score based on raw score?

Hi Watermelonss,

Unfortunately, the Diagnostic Test at the beginning of the OG isn't a great way to establish a 'baseline score' - the number of questions isn't correct, the pencil-and-paper aspect of it isn't realistic, the Test doesn't adapt, it's not a FULL Test, etc. As such, to get a more accurate assessment of your skills, you'll want to take a FULL-LENGTH CAT (including the Essay and IR sections) sometime soon (maybe this weekend). You can download 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline/plans:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

It is possible, but you'd need to have access to a lot of information that the GMAC does not release (or maybe even collect). So: for all practical purposes, not possible.

The classification that you get from the diagnostic test in the OG should be reliable though.

By knowing how many questions you got wrong and at what place we can tell you a very close guess where would your scaled score be

So in case you want me to tell you the score then please feel free to send me a PM with the Correct and incorrect attempts with their place values.

The conversion of Sectional Scaled scores into GMAT final score can be done by the following Formula

Total GMAT Score = (Quant*9 + Verbal*7) rounded to the nearest multiple of 10

This formula of converting scaled score into the GMAT score is highly trustworthy as I have checked it already with thousands of score. If you don't believe me then look at any score break-up (of scaled score) and use the formula to calculate GMAT final score.

I hope this helps not only to you but to many other readers here as well.

P.S> this formula also tells us that Every scaled score of Quant has a weight of 9 and every scaled score of Verbal has a weight of 7 marks hence QUant scaled score has greater weight and easier reach (in general)
