Hi all! I have just retaken my GMAT and scored 30 points higher from my previous try (I got 720 compared to 690 previously), which is something that I am very grateful of!
However, I noticed something off with the split:
First try: Total 690, Q46 V38
Second try: Total 720, Q48 V41
So in a way, looking at the split, I got a total of 5 splits increment (2 in Q and 3 in V) for a grand total of 30 points increase.
However, I have seen people scoring 750 with Q49 V42 (yes, BB, you're one of them). This would only be 2 splits increment for a grand total of 30 points.
Can someone explain how this works? I may be able to retake the GMAT once more, and will be aiming for 750 score. Is it true that to get 750 I just need to be "1 notch better in both Q and V"?
Thanks!

Technically, you are correct that an extra point on each section - a Q49 V42 - could get a 750. It could, however, also result in a 740. May be worth checking out what different section scores can potentially combo.

Hi Yzreel.
You GMAT total score is based on your performance on the test rather than on your section scores, which can represent a range of performances.
In other words, a range of performances can result in Q48 V41 or Q49 V42.
So, a Q49 V42 performance will also be a 750 performance only if that Q49 V42 performance is a strong Q49 V42 performance. Otherwise, you may score 740, or even 730 with Q49 V42.
Thus, as you might imagine, increasing your score by 30 more points will take a commensurate improvement in performance. You'll need a 30-point increase type of improvement in performance, which is probably more than a "one notch better in Q and V" improvement.
For some tips on how to score 750+ on the GMAT, see this post.
