How good is my MGMAT Score??

[tarang.iit]

Hi Guys,
I need your help in understanding how good a proxy are the MGMAT's scores for the actual GMAT.

In the last three MGMATs I have scored as below

1) Q45 V32
2) Q46 V36
3) Q46 V35

How bad/good are these scores? I am guessing, though not sure, that Quant is not a concern area however Verbal remains a huge block.

I am really concerned about my Verbal and would love to get into the 40 range at least. In the GMAT prep I scored 55 in Quant and mid thirties in Verbal.

Please help.

Thanks :)

Look at your percentile rankings, not just the raw scores; the two sections are not scored on the same scale. Your verbal is a bit better than your quant.

Q46 is the 68th percentile. V35 is the 75th percentile. A score of V40 is the 90th percentile - a VERY high score.

I'm going to guess that you meant to say that you scored 45 on GMATPrep (since 51 is the highest raw score) - yes?

In terms of how good the scores are overall, that really depends on the schools to which you plan to apply. :) You've got a solid base in both Q and V, scores that are good enough for many schools, though some schools would want higher scores.
