I saw a Redditor post about an Official score that had the same / lower section score than GMAT scores I received, yet had received a higher overall score.
Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/GMAT/comments/ ... 0_v38_q49/
Redditor's score:
720 Q49 V38
My score:
710 Q49 V39
This reminds me of rudywip's situation: https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-online- ... 58536.html
where he had the same section scores, but received 710 and 730 on different occasions.
Any thoughts on whether I should bother appealing / requesting a review?

Might be to do with the difference "within" the Q49s.

Hi aom12,
The Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores that each GMATer receives in the Official Score Report are 'rounded' numbers (for convenience); the ACTUAL Scaled Scores are almost never integers though - and it's those actual results that are used to calculate the Overall GMAT Score (out of 800). Since you scored a Q49, I assume that you know the 'rules of rounding'; in the context of the numbers you've listed though, here's how we can account for those results:
A Q49 could actually be any result from a Q48.5 - Q49.4, whereas....
the difference between a V38 and a V39 might be relatively minuscule by comparison (re: a V38.4 and a V38.5).
Thus, in your example, the 10-point difference in the Overall Scores is almost certainly due to really close Verbal results but a significant-enough difference in the Quant results.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
