Hi gmat club!
Hopefully someone can help me out to answer the following!
According to GMAC, two-thirds of test takers score between 400 and 600. Yet, a score of 600 puts you in the 55th percentile. How can both of these facts be true?

Hi climbingupup,
To start, percentiles change over time (and the percentile data that you refer to is actually from a 4-year period - from 2015 to 2018 - not from the entire history of the Exam). In addition, people who take the GMAT multiple times - but score around the same general 'level' each time - can skew the percentiles for the overall group. This is meant to say that over the history of the exam, about 2/3 of GMATers have scored in the 400-600 range - and that will likely continue to be a reasonable approximation for what will happen in the future. Of course, none of this means much to how well YOU might perform on the GMAT, so it's important to not get too distracted by this information.
About a week ago, you posted that a School had asked you for your Unofficial Score information (even though you had submitted your Official Score Report). Has there been any follow-up from the School on this issue?

Good catch. It’s also possible that a marketing person wrote that and number such as 600 and 400 looked a lot better than 630 and 380
