Hey Inoc,

I'd also recommend checking out this article: https://www.veritasprep.com/blog/2010/08/understanding-gmat-scoring-algorithm/

And I think it's much more useful to look at the percentile (how you scored relative to others) than it is to try to interpret the actual scaled score (0-60 but stopping for right now at 51). The percentile - your relative ranking - is what's really important to schools, anyway, and I think that's a lot more natural a number to think about, so that's what I'd advise you to work with as you determine your goals and progress.
