The 5151 Podcast, Episode 5: Why is there only one verified perfect 800 GMAT scorer in the world, and why is that score from all the way back in 2015?
Earning a perfect 800 score on the GMAT (which requires that you answer all 58 counted questions correctly) is a rare feat indeed, even for those who are capable of achieving such a score on their best / luckiest day. Notice, for example, that even Harvard Business School's incoming class of 2022 did not include a single 800 GMAT scorer.
It is also important to keep in mind that even the world's only verified perfect GMAT scorer was only able to do so on an easier, 2015 version of the GMAT, and that he was approximately 50 years old at the time—25 years older than the average MBA applicant.
(In particular, the GMAT Verbal section noticeably increased in difficulty sometime around 2017, and scores are only valid for 5 years.)
