I took a Kaplan mock Q49 V39 and total - 690.

Can anyone tell me how this is possible?? Shouldn't this raw score translate to 720?

Hi Rujuta,

Can you PM me the email you used to register for this exam, so I can look into this for you?

Thanks!

Thank you for looking into this.

I've forwarded this along--unfortunately, any changes are likely to go on behind the scenes, so I may not be able to update your score personally. But thanks for helping us make our course even better and more reliable, and feel free to ask me any other questions you may have about your Kaplan materials. Good luck prepping!

Hi Eli, I took another Kaplan test Q47 V39 and this time it shows me a 660 but I'm pretty sure this is a 670+ score.
Am I missing something or is the calculation flawed?

Its a real damper on my confidence and my exam's next week :(

Hi Rujuta,

Where are you getting those numbers from? To the best of my knowledge, the GMAC hasn't released a formula for converting from raw to official scores (though they might have, and I missed it!), and most conversion tables are reconstructions by test-prep companies that may not be 100% accurate.

I'm sure you guys know much more about GMAT but Ive never seen a score 660 with Q47 V39. Are you saying this is ok?

Honestly, I'm not too sure. The GMAC plays it pretty close to the vest with sectional scores and how exactly they generate a 200-800 score. If you think we've done something wrong, I'm happy to take a closer look--but it would be really helpful if you could point me to the source or sources that make you doubt the conversion. Are you just referring to other reported scores from these forums? Are you looking at a conversion chart somewhere? The more information you get me, the faster our team will be able to check your results!

Best,
