On the preadmission report, the test takers raw score is presented along with a percentile. How is this percentile computed?
AnswerThe percentile is based on three years’ worth of GMAT scores. Three years worth of data is used to balance out random fluctuations. [When a test administration older than five years is pulled, new percentiles are not computed—the test takers’ scores are presented relative to the tests taken three years prior to the date of the administration.] When a test taker requests an additional score report (ASR), his or her GMAT scores are presented relative to the current three years of tests. So, if a test taker took the GMAT test in 1998 and requested an ASR in 2002, the percentiles presented on the ASR would have been for the tests taken during the time period January 1998 through December 2000, whereas on the original preadmission report the percentiles would have been presented relative to tests taken during the time period January 1995 through December 1997. • How can I compute the percentage of scores that are above a certain score, say, 600?
