I got 50Q/51V on the real thing and got 780. I believe that 51Q/49V might get you 800. I'm certain that you cannot get 800 without 51Q though. I think it can be done without 51V.

its tough to guess how many you can get wrong and still manage a perfect 800. On my practice gmatprep test, i got all questions right in verbal and got a 51, on quant i got 4 of them wrong to get a 50.
so obviously 51 seems to be the limit. Not clear if one get get a 51 with one or two of the questions wrong. My guess is that you can, because the real test has some experimental questions which don't count.

That's a very interesting debate. Do you think GMAC would officially respond to this query if they are approached?

For Perfect 800, see this one:

has-anyone-scored-800-in-gmat-47968.html

Apparently a few folks at Stanford GSB have perfect 800's: https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/mba/admissi ... ile-p.html - which denies the previous myth that GSB dings anyone with 800 automatically :)

And finally my favorite of all times from this troll: got-a-perfect-gmat-score-800-q51-v52-fake-32839.html

"okay but how did you..."
