Verbal Raw Scaled Score

By Abhishek Tomar on Aug 16, 2009 with Comments 0

Once you’ve attempted all three Verbal Ability Practice Sets under timed conditions, compute the total number of Sentence Correction, Reading Comprehension, and Critical Reasoning questions you answered correctly. This is your raw score. Then determine your scaled Verbal score and percentile rank using the table below.

How to Interpret the Table

• Verbal scaled scores are based on a 0-60 scale. (There’s nothing magic about this number range; it’s just GMAT testing tradition.)
• Percentile ranking (0% to 99%) shows how you performed relative to all others taking the GMAT over a recent multi-year period. A percentile ranking of 60, for example, indicates that you scored higher than 60% of all other test takers (and lower than 40% of all other test takers). NOTE: Percentile rankings are not reported to the business schools.
• The table indicates scaled score and percentile ranges because the sampling limitatations of this Mini-Test render an imprecise measurement.
• One additional correct response makes the biggest percentile difference near the middle of the performance “curve” (because it’s a typical bell curve).
