CAT Quant Exam Results look off

[Damiend72]

Hi there,

Was hoping someone could help provide clarity on the score I received for my first CAT:

Subject - Score - Percentile
Quant - 42 - 51 %
Verbal - 35 - 76 %

Total 640 - 72%

Very happy with these results but a Q42 score, as far as I can find online, should place me in the ~63% bucket, not 51%. As such, curious if my actual quant score is lower than 42 or if my percentile should be higher? Verbal seems accurate and in line with what I've scored on the GMAT Prep before, but Quant is definitely higher (score-wise, not percentile wise) than I've scored before so wanted to get some clarity on the discrepancy. It's a 40 point difference for total score so curious if I should see this as a 640 score or a 600 score.

Hope you can help.

Thanks,

Damien

Hi Damien,

Thanks so much for reaching out! If you check out the percentile ranking of the official GMAC website http://www.mba.com/us/the-gmat-exam/gmat-exam-scoring/your-score-report/what-percentile-rankings-mean.aspx#tab4, you'll see that our percentile matches pretty closely with theirs. Let us know where you found this other information and we will be happy to look into it for you!

Best,
Casey
