Hi Friends,
I’m a GMAT newbie. Recently,I took a few GMAT preparation-tests. Am not able to calculate my total score(out of 800), even the test software does not show the total score,instead it shows only the number of correct answers in each section.
I got this score :
Quant: 22/37 Verbal: 26/41
Can anyone pls tell me how to scale this to the total score(out of 800).
thanks, Neetu
I’m not entirely sure, but as far as I know there’s no solid system to convert these rough figures into a score out of 800. The reason is that questions are not weighed equally- harder ones are worth more, while some test questions aren’t actually scored, so the number of correct answers doesn’t actually mean a whole lot.
Since this is only a software test, you should take this is a rough indication of where you stand in terms of . I would keep practicing until I am able to answer correctly a percent of the questions which I’m happy about- for example, if you’re aiming for the 80th percentile in the GMAT, you should practice at least until you can answer 80 of the practice questions correctly.
Neetu,
I agree with oLahav; there is no way to translate accurately what you got to a GMAT score.
But there is a much better solution: download the GMATPrep® Software (http://www.gmac.com/gmac/thegmat/testtakersupport/gmattestprepmaterials.htm) and enjoy the 2 full tests. This SW is available from the guys who organize the real test, and it proved really reliable (at least for me).
Regards
