Hi all,
Does criteria for the subscores that determine the final score (200-800 scale) change over time? For example, I am seeing several posts in which people have scored a 770 with a 49Q and a 46V. However, I scored a 760 last week with the exact same sub scores.
If this does change every year, are the top business schools (M7) acknowledging the subscores or do they only care about the final score? Meaning, does someone who took the test two years ago and got a 770 with the same subscores as I got have a competitive edge over me with my 760 (assuming all other factors are equal)?
Thanks!

No, the raw scores and the total score have undergone no changes. The percentiles have as a normal cause of inflation to the scores due to better tools and prep, but not the scores themselves.
The reason you see a difference of raw vs. total combinations is that the raw scores are calculated separately from the total score... this may be a surprise but that is indeed the case and that is why you have slight differences. Basically it means that your total score was closer to 760 (eg. 764 vs someone else who may have been at 766 and thus got 770)...
Nice score.

Hi lx468,
At your scoring level, Business Schools don't make "tie break" decisions based on the GMAT score. A 760 and a 770 are both outstanding scores, but you have to remember that Business School Admissions Committees are savvy - they look for a strong OVERALL application, and not just a high GMAT score - when deciding who to invite to School.
With a 760, you should apply to any Business Schools that interest you. If you're planning to apply to any highly competitive Programs, then you might want to work with an Admissions Expert on your applications.
