I know this is a very basis one - but I am not sure I understand it. There are so many posts with scores for Eg score 720 Q42 V39 or score 690 Q40 V38. Now what does Q# and V# mean?? These defi are not the % of correct answers or even total correct answers. Can someone help me understand.



720 Q42 V39
Q42 -- The number of answers you got right in Quant.
V39 -- The number of answers you got right in Verbal.

720 is the total GMAT score which is calculated by an algorithm. You can refer below post for the same
gmat-scores-83890.html


"The number of answers you got right in Quant."

I hope that was just a joke.... how can you get 42 of 37 correct in quant?

Thx

this is you raw scores of to each section. It means the higher the individual scores the higher is final score like 720.
These score do not either mean number of questions you took right nor percentile.

Please refer my thread all gmat scores (see link below) and you will have basic idea how final GMAT score is calculated.
