Hi folks,
Can anybody give me an approximate idea as where would a percentage of 92% in Quant and 65% in verbal land me in terms of GMAT scores.

Deep

Dear Deep,
I'm happy to respond.
Unfortunately, my friend, your question betrays a basic misunderstanding on how the GMAT is scored. You see, the GMAT uses Computer Adaptive Testing. The algorithm is constantly adjusting the difficulty of the questions it gives you. Your score depends not only on whether you got a question right or wrong, but also on the difficulty of that particular question.
Say person #1 gets a 25 in GMAT Quant, and person #2 gets a 52. Of course, person #1 had a mediocre so-so performance, and person #2 has a commanding performance. The profound irony is that they both might have gotten about the same number of questions correct or incorrect. Person #1 would have had a mix of easy/medium questions and would have gotten some right and some wrong. Person #2 would have gotten very difficult questions and would have some right and some wrong. It's possible that they had the exact same number correct. You see, number correct or percent correct, apart from problem difficulty, is 100% meaningless for GMAT score.
Does all this make sense?

Hi Deep,
If you're talking about the PERCENTILES (and NOT the percentage correct in each section), then those 'numbers' would be the equivalent of about a Q50/V32. These days, that score combination would likely put you in the 660-670 range. Of course, if those scores are taken 'out of context' (meaning that they are not the result of taking a FULL-LENGTH CAT under realistic conditions), then those numbers might not actually be a correct reflection of how you would score on the Official GMAT.
1) Are you currently studying for the GMAT?
2) What materials are you using?
3) What is your goal score?
