Score on math section

[Mymisc]

I'd like to know the reliable info on what is the highest possible score on math section in OFFICIAL GMAT test.

I recently scored 51 on MGAMT CAT but didn't feel like I enountered hard Qs. Wonder what if the highest possible score I should target.

Thanks!

You cannot score more than 51. So that is the score you might want to target if you want to be in the top 1 percentile.

Like the GMAT, our CATs don't use the entire nominal range of scores. I believe that 51 is tops for either test. Where was your estimated percentile over the course of the test? I'm guessing very high. When you review your test, are many questions labeled as 700-800? I'm guessing yes.

If your verbal isn't nearly as high (and percentile is a better basis for comparison than scale score) then shift your effort over there.

Somewhere I saw people mentioned score of 52?
