carcass
carcass, this "100th percentile" debate reminds me of the Sentence Correction ( bye bye SC
) question that says something like "Lionel Messi is greater than any footballer," but the correct answer is "Lionel Messi is greater than any other footballer"—because of course you can't be greater than yourself. Short answer: it's a rounding issue. GMAC should start giving us decimal percentiles such as 99.53%, instead of just integer ones (including the so-called 100th percentile).
Surely the Data Insights section is scored from 60-90 as well, and this absurd DI score range of "90 to 90" is just yet another GMAC typo.
Finally, I might as well break out the below chart once more, before it no longer applies to the GMAT Focus. My apologies in advance if some of the percentiles are now slightly outdated, but it's still useful as an overall comparison tool.

Are the attempts shared (the ones we have now) or is the GMAT Focus counter independent starting from zero again? It's not very clear in the article.
EDIT:
Found it here: https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat-focus-edition/faqs
How many times can I take the GMAT™ Focus Edition?
All GMAT exam attempts – whether the current GMAT™ Exam or the GMAT™ Focus Edition, taken online or at a test center - will count towards your five (5) GMAT exam attempts during a rolling 12-month period and eight (8) total lifetime limits.
; these are recycled GMAT Prep / OG Questions.
