Re: My GMAT score dropped 30 points after two years? [#permalink]
Dayne - no I haven't talked to the people at GMAT yet. I wanted to find proof before I called them. There's a very good chance that I misremembered my scores, but I'm sooooo certain that I had a 690, I'm positive of it.

Taylor - I agree. I don't think anyone's screwing me over or anything. My first reaction to seeing my scores was, "Whoa, they must have adjusted my scores down because people are doing better on the GMAT now. After all, it does say that my score is calculated on a three year average of test takers."

I just posted on here because I wanted to know if it was common for scores to be adjusted around years after taking the test. I'll dig in to this and let you guys know what I find out. I probably just misremembered it or something, but it's so weird, I've never been more sure that I got a 690 - weird.

i think it might be you misremembering with all those practice CATs you probably been taking then? Could you try to find your past apps and see what the score were? That is probably your best chance unless you kept your score copy in storage somewhere...

Re: My GMAT score dropped 30 points after two years? [#permalink]
yea; either way, your percentages are at the time you took the test. whether it's 80th percentile in 2006 (640? taking the percentages of 2004-06) or 80th percentile in 2010 (650? taking the percentages of 08-10) it really doesn't matter since your score is an accurate snapshot of how you did when you took it. people can submit scores up to 5 years old so the numbers have to be fairly constant. it might be harder now to get a 660 then it was in 2006, who knows.

either way 660 isn't too shabby, but it's almost impossible that they recorded the wrong score. regardless, when you send schools the official score reports, thats the number they send so youre stuck with it.

you probably got a 690 on the last gmat prep you took and are just confusing them =/
