GMAT Score Breakdowns [#permalink] New post   Updated on: 17 Oct 2005, 14:58
I thought it would be cool to have one topic where people could post his or her score breakdowns and view other breakdowns as well. I know it helps me to have a range in mind when studying.

I know there are many combinations to attain a certain GMAT score but here is what I've compiled so far:

470 - Q27, V28
520 - Q32, V28
550 - Q34, V31
560 - Q38, V29
560 - Q45, V22
570 - Q35, V35
580 - Q40, V30
590 - Q48, V23
590 - Q34, V36
590 - Q35, V36
590 - Q49, V23
600 - Q50, V21
600 - Q34, V37
610 - Q35, V40
620 - Q48, V27
630 - Q42, V34
640 - Q44, V34
640 - Q47, V31
640 - Q48, V29
650 - Q44, V35
660 - Q37, V41
670 - Q45, V37
680 - Q50, V32
680 - Q45, V38
690 - Q46, V38
700 - Q42, V44
710 - Q47, V40
710 - Q49, V38
720 - Q48, V41
720 - Q50, V38
730 - Q48, V42
740 - Q48, V44
750 - Q49, V42
760 - Q51, V41
760 - Q49, V44
770 - Q50, V45
770 - Q51, V42
780 - Q51, V47
790 - Q50, V51

Look at how the score is produced in one of the old GMAT paper tests.
Q and V scores are produced separetly and do not actually influence total score. Total score depends only on the number of questions answeared correctly.

What do you mean by this? How do individual Q and V scores <b>not</b> influence total score?

Question for you guys - if you switch the V and Q scores, will you get the same overall GMAT score? For example, if someone receives a 670 (Q45, V37), will you get a 670 if you score Q37, V45?

No, it wouldn't work that way.

Would the score be comparable / lower / or higher?

From what I understand, there's a certain point on both scales after which a higher score makes very little difference to your overall score. Scores over 45 in verbal and over 51 in math, I believe, won't raise your overall score much more with each incremental score.

In other words, you'll get a bigger score jump going from a 46 to a 47 in quantitative than going from a 46 to a 47 in verbal.

This is just based on what I've observed, mind you. I don't pretend to know how the scores are actually calculated.

I don't quite understand. Does it mean that the max. scaled score on Quant is 51 and not 60.
The person who got say 790 - Q51, V50, did he/she get any quant. question wrong or not?

I've attached my breakdown file. I've taken the template somewhere in GMAT Club forums and regularly update it by reading "Share your GMAT experience section"

Hope it will be useful for you guys :wink:
