Translate Scaled scores to total score [#permalink] New post 26 Jul 2010, 06:31
Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a table telling me what final score I will get based on the sum of the verbal scaled and quantitative scaled score. So far I have only found a table in the back of the Kaplan Premier book but don't know whether it actually reflects a table based for the computer test or for the paper test as used in the book only.

My problem is that I have had my first GMAT today and scored 600 points in total. In the verbal section I did quite well and had a scaled score of 39 (85 percentile). In the quantitative section however my scaled score was only 34 and thus in the 38 percentile which is quite low. What I would like to know now is what quantitative scaled score I'd need (and which percentile it is) to add up with the ~39 points from the verbal section (which I might be able to repeat) to a total of at least 680 points on the GMAT. I need this score to get into a certain MA programme and at the moment I'm unsure whether to retake the test or not. I certainly wasn't prepared enough for the math part but in case I'd need a score above the 90 percentile in math as well it might even be too hard with a good preparation.

There is no such table available so far, I'm afraid. But one of the users on the forum had made an approximation which serves fairly accurate within 20 points either way. You may search for that. But off the top of my head, I think to get a 680 you'll need at least like a 45 on Quant.

This is fairly accurate. Based on the calculator, it would be roughly a 44
