Maximum Quant score

Question

I have read somewhere that score range for Quant section is from 6 to 60 than why we can get maximum as Q51.

Also when I done 6-7 questions wrong, I scored around Q50, Q51.So what happen if I do correct all question will in both scenerio my overall score will same or I will get higher points in the final score.

Hi Vaibhav, am pretty sure that on the actual exam, you cannot get Q51, with 6-7 wrong questions.

Q51 is the highest section score you can get.

Fair to say not all section scores - even if they are identical - are equal. You can therefore have a Q50 V38, for example, with different total scores "out of 800".

Hi Vaibhav.

I'm not sure why there is a discrepancy, but whereas GMAC has at times said that GMAT section scores range from 0 to 60, they actually range from 6 to 51. So, if you get all the questions correct in a section, you'll score 51.

However, that information does not mean that it's not helpful to get more questions correct. Your GMAT total score is not based on your section scores. It's based directly on your performance on the test. So, even if your section score doesn't increase because of your getting more questions correct, your total score may.

For instance, with Q50 and V40, you can score 730 or 740. You'll score 740, the higher score, if you get more questions correct.

I haven't gave GMAT test yet. The score I was talking about are of mocks.

For instance- In GMAT official mock-1, I scored Q50 with 6 question wrong (screenshot attached) . May be it happens because the questions which I have done wrong, are of high difficulty level.
