If you look at bb's chart, you'll also notice that you can continue to improve in verbal--thereby improving your overall 200-800 score--even when you're at the 99th percentile. This is one of the most important things that students overlook. You can "max out" the verbal percentile even if your actual verbal score is lower than your quant! On the flip side, your quant score can't get any higher than 97% these days (98% when that chart was made).

So in short, focus on the scaled scores, as bb suggested, and keep working on both equally unless one is substantially higher on the 51-point scale than the other. Here's a link to our updated version of the chart: https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/gmat- ... alculator/ Every time, I check it against student reports, it is either spot-on or 10 points off (there is some underlying variation in scaled scores, basically due to rounding). You'll find that it's gotten a bit tougher to reach those high scores. A colleague of mine even reported a 51/51/790. (Rounding strikes again!)
