Unsure of my Overall GMAT Score ( V42 Q 47 OA 710) [#permalink] New post   28 Jun 2019, 05:06
V42 and Q47 still OA only 710. Feeling hard done!?
Any reasons why the lower than expected OA? Was expecting OA of 720,730 with this break up.

While one would generally expect this split to lead to a score around 720, this surprise happens sometimes.

It could be that your v42 is very close to a 41, same thing for the Q47 which could be almost at a q46.

Below is from an MGMAT article:
https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog ... 700-score/

quote:
Most people are very surprised to learn that any pair of Q+V subscores can map to up to three different Total scores. For example, the pairing V41, Q49 can map to a 720, 730, or 740! What’s going on?

Each section of the test has what’s called a raw score. The Quant raw score determines your Quant subscore, the Verbal raw score determines your Verbal subscore—and the two raw scores (not subscores!) are used to calculate your Total score.

You can score between 6 and 51 on the Quant section, for a total of 46 different subscores. The same is true on the Verbal section.

The Total score ranges from 200 to 800—there are 71 different scores in that range. Since there are more possible Total scores, it has to be the case that some pairs of subscores can map to more than one Total score.

From the research we’ve done, it seems to be the case that any pair of subscores can map to 2 or 3 different Total scores.

While unfortunate regarding the split vs. total points comparison, 710 is still a very good score and should enable you to apply to most b-schools out there. :)

Best regards,
Chris

It is not depend on your quant and verbal split; it is depend on what difficulty level you faced. No one be sure the expected score with any specific split, because it is done by computer algorithm!

Hello anurdixit

Different sectional scores but the same total score is a common phenomenon on the GMAT. The short answer is that for a specific score range, the total score is the same. Please visit a few posts on the same topic; I hope you'd get some clarity. Even though we have a scoring grid, I am not sure whether GMAC exactly follows it.
