Hi rest,

GMAC has publicly stated that a Test Taker's official Score is within +-30 points of actual ability, so you could very well have hit a 700+/Q51... but you made a couple of silly/little mistakes and it cost you those missing points. At your current scoring level, the GMAT becomes really 'sensitive' to little mistakes - if you make too many, then that next 'level up' becomes impossible to achieve. This is all meant to say that the 'issue' is really about 'precision' - to increase this score, you have to do MORE precise work on the pad (and NOT in your head).

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

To get your score past 700, you would benefit the most by pushing your verbal score. Your quant is close to the perfect score, and I am pretty confident that you can round that to 51 with targeted practice at the upper level of difficulty. But definitely pour your energy in to verbal to cruise past 700.

cheers,
Dabral
