<p>Out of 2400, and in terms of difficulty level
what SAT score is a 700 on the GMAT equivalent to?</p>
<p>I know no one can give an exact answer, this is just an estimation. </p>
<p>Like getting an SAT score of _____ is about as hard as getting a GMAT score of 700. Fill in the blank...</p>
<p>anyone? Just an estimation…</p>
<p>The GMAT score table can be seen here</p>
<p>[The</a> GMAT Scoring Scale](<a href=“http://www.testmasters.net/gmat/Information/scale.aspx]The”>GMAT Scoring Scale)</p>
<p>A GMAT score of 700, by the table, is the 90th percentile, comparable to about 1950 in the 2400 scale SAT. That said, the SAT and GMAT are not all that similar in design or difficulty. The GMAT is much more difficult, and you should make sure to study long and hard for the test.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>MBA Grad 2009 thats not what I was asking</p>
<p>Factoring the GMAT is much more difficult, what is a GMAT score of 700 in SAT terms.</p>
<p>IN other words, it is as difficult to score a 700 on the GMAT as it is difficult to score a ______ on the SAT</p>
<p>Did you miss this part? “A GMAT score of 700, by the table, is the 90th percentile, comparable to about 1950 in the 2400 scale SAT”.</p>
<p>lmao…</p>
<p>So you think it is as hard for someone to score a 700 on the GMAT as it is a 1950 on the SAT? Factoring in preparation level, level of students taking it, difficulty, etc.</p>
<p>Because thats what I’m asking here…percentiles and how students performed. Because it’s clear that GMAT test takers are mroe smart than SAT test takers to begin with, so comparing percentiles is pointless.</p>
<p>^^ I wouldn’t say that.</p>
<p>Think about it: almost every high school student in the nation takes the SAT, meaning there are a large percentage of students in the lower score range which probably makes scoring in the upper 10th percentile easier.</p>
<p>Applicants who take the GMAT are far more self-selecting (most people will not take it without some knowledge of either what they’re getting into or knowing they stand a decent chance in MBA placement). Although there are definately less intelligent people who take the GMAT, I would be willing to bet the avg SAT score for a GMAT taker is higher than the national average. </p>
<p>I personally have never taken the exam so it’d be hard to answer your question accurately.</p>
<p>^^^^
That’s exactly what I was saying to MBA grad 2009. You can’t just look at the percentiles</p>
<p>And I answered that as well, ssk13809. I said myself - and you ignored it - that you cannot compare the two tests, not really. I only tried in response to your question, to give you the best comparison I could.</p>
<p>So what do you really want to know, eh?</p>
<p>I will offer this, and hopefully you can take some use from it:</p>
<p>The GMAT is an adaptive test, where the answer to each question determines what question you will get next. On the GMAT, you cannot go back and review or change your answers, so time management is essential. Also, because the test is adaptive, the first questions in each section will be the most important, and here’s why. If you get the first question right, you will earn a certain number of points and your next question will be harder and worth more points. If you get it wrong, you get no points and your next question will be easier but be worth fewer points. As you move on each section, the difference in point value between questions gets smaller and smaller, because the computer has established a general range with the early questions and uses the later questions to reach a more detailed score. So if you get all of, say, the first seven questions right in a section, you’re in very good shape to get a high score, even if you have trouble at the end, certainly better than someone who misses, say, three of their first seven, even if they finish strong at the end and actually get more questions right than the first candidate. It’s the score from the difficulty that matters.</p>
<p>This also means you want to practice a lot with a good simulation, because time management gets trickier. In the standard tests like the SAT, you generally give yourself the same amount of time on each question with a buffer at the end to review your answers. With the GMAT you won’t be able to review your answers or make changes, so your buffer need is much smaller, and because the first questions in each section are much more important than those at the end, you should take more time if you need to to get them right. It’s counter-intuitive, which is why the simulations matter so much. </p>
<p>The GMAT deals with verbal and math skills the same way that the SAT does, but the GMAT will also ask analytical questions, as well as test your ability to make quick calculations using multiple data sets.</p>
<p>Going back to percentiles, the thing you want to keep in mind is that any good school will want an above-average GMAT score, so a solid percentile ranking matters. Also, every graduate school of business will require certain core courses, and many schools look at the GMAT results to decide whether you have to take prerequisite courses before formal admission to the degree program. So your percentile ranking matters.</p>
<p>And for the record, I took the GMAT in the spring of 2006, and earned a 730.</p>
<p>I’ll give this a shot:
a 700 GMAt is equal to ~1420 GRE score.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.ets.org/gre/2008/9934/tool.html[/url]”>http://www.ets.org/gre/2008/9934/tool.html</a></p>
<p>The GRE score is equivalent to the pre 1995 SAT, and after the re centering, you must add ~60 points to your verbal score to convert current SAT to pre 1995 SAT. therefore, a 700 SAT is about equivalent to, I’d say 1460-1500 SAT (verbal, math).</p>
<p>You aren’t really under that much time pressure for the GMAT. Try taking the LSAT, thats a tough test imo.</p>
<p>to the writer of this post:</p>
<p>I think I agreed with MBA Grad 2009 with my conclusions. He’s giving you the percentiles, but that’s not to say that’s a direct comparison. Rather, he even said, </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Just taking a blind guess into the dark here, I would say a 700 is somewhere b/w a 2050 and 2150 on the SAT.</p>
<p>warning: the statistical work here is pretty weak, but might offer you some insight…</p>
<p>I received a low 99th percentile score on the SAT (when I totally blew it off and didn’t prepare), and five years later received a 94th percentile score on the GMAT when I had done a bit of prep work (my GMAC practice exams were a bit better). So, based upon my sample of one (not particularly great stats work being practiced here) I’d ballpark a 700 GMAT as equating to a mid 1400’s math/verbal SAT score. This would be in the 2150 - 2250 range on the 2400 scale.</p>
<p>Hope that is of some help.</p>
<p>In my experience, a 700 GMAT equates to roughly a 1400 SAT, w/o the writing section. Both scales have changed somewhat in this decade with the SAT re-centering starting with the Class of 2000 mentioned above as well as an easing of the GMAT scale where when I took the test, the lowest 99%ile was 720 and a few years later a 720 was only 95%ile.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You can’t really look at it like this since the pool of GMAT takers are going to be more capable than SAT takers, i.e. it’s a lot tougher to be in the 90%ile of a pool of 100% college graduates than one that is comprised of 50% college graduates.</p>
<p>The ETS has already generated a GRE to GMAT conversion…700 GMAT = 720 GRE. Add ~60 points to convert to current SAT and mid-high 1400s is spot on- given the same effort in preparation.</p>
