| Re: What is a Good Score for GMAT
The average GMAT scores of entering MBA classes at the top business schools often tell you more about the institutions than the applicants as schools with stable or increasing GMATs are generally re-investing in their MBA programs. Scoring The total GMAT score ranges from 200 to 800 and measures performance on the quantitative and verbal sections together. Scores are given in increments of 10 (e.g. 540, 550, 560, 570, etc.). From the most recent data released by GMAC, the average GMAT score of all test takers is about 540. The score distribution conforms to a bell curve with a standard deviation of approximately 100 points, meaning that 68% of examinees score between 440 and 640. More precisely, the mean score is 545.6 with a standard deviation of 121.07 points. The final score is not based solely on the last question the examinee answers. The algorithm used to build a score is more complicated than that. The examinee can make a mistake and answer incorrectly and the computer will recognize that item as an anomaly. If the examinee misses the first question his score will not necessarily fall in the bottom half of the range. After previewing unofficial GMAT score, a GMAT test taker has two minutes to decide whether to keep or cancel the GMAT score. A cancelled score can be retrieved within 60 days for a fee of $100. After 60 days a cancelled score is not retrievable 10 B-Schools with the Highest GMAT Scores Business school (name) (state) Incoming full-time Average GMAT score enrollment (fall 2014) Stanford University (CA) 410 732 University of Pennsylvania (Wharton) 859 728 Harvard University (MA) 935 726 University of Chicago (Booth) 583 724 New York University (Stern) 344 721 Yale University (CT) 323 719 University of California—Berkeley (Haas) 241 717 Columbia University (NY) 743 716 Dartmouth College (Tuck) (NH) 281 716 University of California—Los Angeles (Anderson) 354 715 |
