Hello GMAT Clubbers,

It might surprise you to hear this, but for decades the GMAC has claimed on its website that Quant and Verbal scores range from 0 to 60, when in fact we have known for a long time that the maximum score on each section is a 51 (and that the minimum score is a 6).

Well, the people at GMAC have finally seen the light: the website has now been updated to reflect reality.

Brian, your theory has been proven to be correct. I remember you wrote something that the limit of Verbal and Quantitative is 51.

One day testing algorithms will be posted to the blockchain and be transparent for all to see. May take decades though.
