Total GMAT scores range from 200 to 800. Two-thirds of test takers score between 400 and 600.

The Verbal and Quantitative scores range from 0 to 60. Scores below 9 and above 44 for the Verbal section or below 7 and above 50 for the Quantitative section are rare. Both scores are on a fixed scale and can be compared across any GMAT administration. The Verbal and Quantitative scores measure different things and cannot be compared to each other. If you do not finish each multiple-choice section of the test, your score will depend on the number of questions answered within each section.

The scoring pattern of AWA section is different from the Verbal and Quantitatives.The scoring is done as follows:

Each of your essays in the AWA section will be given two, independent ratings, one of which may be performed by E-rater. E-rater is an electronic system that evaluates more than 50 structural and linguistic features, including organization of ideas, syntactic variety, and topical analysis.

If the two ratings differ by more than one point, another evaluation by an expert reader is required to resolve the discrepancy and determine the final score.
