Hi,

I have taken a few practice GMAT tests over the past couple of weeks and have noticed that either my score should be a little higher or my percentile should be a little lower.
I am referring to the score - percentile table available here: http://www.mba.com/the-gmat/gmat-scores ... means.aspx

I just want to know which one should I trust, the score or the percentile. I can use the table referred above to get the other parameter.

Thanks,
Dhruv

Hey,

I'd say that you should focus more on the score since you can set a score goal for yourself based on which schools you are targeting. The percentile will always be shifting so in my mind it doesn't make as much sense to focus on it. You may want to post this in our General GMAT Strategy forum and see if you can't get an Instructor's opinion.

Best,
