Something about gmatcrazy! (thats me lol..)

So how do you interpret the scores?

Hi Fellow Gmatters,

I am just another guy who has dreams to do an MBA from a damn good B School. After two failures at Common admission test 94(2006) and 83(2008) percentiles I decided to have a take on GMAT and boy I was serious about it! I did a lot of research and learned a lot of things about the much hyped exam. In this blog and the upcoming blogs I will be sharing my tricks and tips that I learned over the course of my preparation. Lets hope it might help a couple of you. I would feel great even if it makes your score jump by 20 points. To start with here are few stats about the exam i took on 16th July 09′.

GMAT Score : 740 -97 percentile
QA score 50 -93 percentile.
Verbal score 40 - 89 percentile
AWA( I sucked!) - 5 - 56 percentlie.

740 is my total score which is out of 800. So the max you can score in the exam is 800 and yes some guys do get that score. Percentiles i am pretty sure you guys are already familiar with. The 50 and 40 score in QA and verbal is my scale score which is out of 51. So again the max scale score you can get in QA or verbal is 51. AWA stands for “analytical writing assessment”. Your AWA score is not considered while taking out your total GMAT score and generally its ok if you get a 4.5 +.

In the next post I will be telling you the fine details about the GMAT exam. The sections, dificulty level, no. of questions and all that stuff. So till then happy GMATING
