Percentile distribution of 760+ scores

Hello, curiousgeorge13. First of all, congratulations on a fine score. I hope you will take the time to post a debrief, since exceptionally high-scoring candidates have a lot to share that I am sure the community would find of interest. As for your questions,

1. GMAC™ keeps certain test-taker data under lock and key. Some of this information is restricted, such that only "Registered Users from GMAT Accepting [sic] Schools" can gain access to the data, but other information is just withheld. I cannot turn up any more precise percentile information than you can probably find through a simple Google search.

2. I wonder, for what purpose do you wish to know this inter-percentile number? I know there are plenty of people in the high-IQ realm who obsess over the number of 9's after the decimal in their scores (e.g., the 99th percentile, or MENSA plus a bit, versus the 99.9th percentile, or Triple Nine Society standards). Some of these people come across as elitist. That is, few people care to hear about their extraordinary abilities besides others who might share similar fixations or abilities. And yet I can see the value for high-IQ individuals to seek out the company of other highly intelligent people when they might feel out of place or different from those around them. I have no idea what your intentions may be, but I hope they may be based more in curiosity than in ego.

To be clear, I do not have an answer for either point. I will say, however, that it might be presumptuous to assume that each incremental point is exponentially less common. Perhaps in the year 2019, no one is able to earn a V46 or V47, but gaps may form instead within a certain score range. I have also seen data from other tests--again, not the GMAT™--that show that more test-takers earn a perfect score than a near-perfect score in certain measures. Higher scores are not as atypical as they used to be, given the plethora of test-specific information that is floating about online, as well as the many high-quality online learning modules and more traditional brick-and-mortar tutoring centers that staff GMAT™ experts.

Please understand, I am not trying to downplay your achievement. Your score is fantastic, and if your MBA does not work out, then I am sure you could join the ranks of just about any GMAT™ tutoring business... assuming you are not in the industry already. I just hope that, given the fact that you posted little more than your scores in the forum, you might provide the community some insight into how you got to where you are now, since your very post within the forum suggests that GMAT Club may have played some part in your success.

I wish you all the best, and if you do write a debrief, I will be one curious reader. Again, well done.
