Hi All
I took the GMAT on 22nd July and was destroyed to see the GMAT score.
I scored 590 Q47 and V25.
I expected 46 + in Quant, but the big disappointment was verbal section. I never thought and expected that I will receive such a low score.
If the paper did not went well, I can think that verbal score is low, but I was pretty confident after doing the verbal questions and definitely thought I should get 40+ marks as I was able to apply fundamentals to SC and able to deduce CR questions and able to work out RC question.
Honestly, this is my lowest verbal score ever. During the Practice test, I was consistently getting 35+ in verbal section and day before yesterday, in my final practice test, From the last few weeks, I was only concentrating on verbal section and was improving well and thus I got a 41 verbal score in my last practice test couple of days back.
I dont know what to do now. Is there a way I can challenge GMAT verbal score as I am confident that I should have got more than 25 marks for sure?
I was part of the group who were given additional Integrated reasoning questions which came immediately after the verbal section.
So I feel that the additional integrated reasoning question might have caused this issue.
I have heard similar things from other gmat groups (beatthegmat) and there are other persons who have faced similar issues.
So if other people who have faced similar issues, please respond here so that we can make a joint case to challenge the scoring system.
Thanks in advance.
