So I got a 740 (Q48, V45) this morning and every chart I can find has that combination listed as a 750. In fact, in most of them it looks like with a Q47, V45 I would have gotten a 750 as well.
Why does my scoring appear to be lower?
Apologies if I'm missing something. It was my understanding that although percentile rankings may change, the total score based on your subsection scores remains the same.
First - congratulations!
Second, there is an explanation - the tables are not exactly precise, and that is because the final score (e.g. 740) is not a byproduct of the scaled scores (47, 45) but rather the total and the scaled scores are arrived to using separate algorithms, and since the GMAT score is reported in increments of 10's there is an inconsistency.
Hope this helps and puts your mind at ease. Good Luck on a great score and hope you can focus on your applications now!
Ah, okay. That makes sense (sort of)! A 750 would inflate my ego a bit but I just wanted to make sure everything was correct. Thank you for the explanation and well wishes!
