Rumors of 780-800Q

[resource]

I've heard rumors of a 780-800 quantitative score floating around the internet. Can anyone attest to its validity? I'm curious what signals it sends to those of us who previously thought 750-800Q was the highest score range possible.

P.S. I apologize for this anxiety and nervousness this thread may create.

I think that this is false; on the official ETS practice test scoring guide, the max score is 750-800. Link here. However, it is possible that they've changed it for the exam. Where on the Internet did you find this information?

Oh, you know--ETS may have narrowed it with the information we so lovingly provided them.

Heh. I heard it from a secondary source on another forum (which, like this one, tends to have fairly knowledgable and honest posters).

It could be completely unfounded -- which is why I am curious.

I am pretty sure this is false, but even if it was true it wouldn't matter too much given that percentiles haven't been figured out yet. I note this because this year especially admission committees will probably rely more on percentiles to compare applicants who took the old test to those who took the revised test.

Interesting find. I took the revised test two weeks ago and received 700-750Q, 700-750V. Yet, I don't see these score ranges on the chart?

*edit

For what it's worth, I am one-hundred percent certain these were my scores!

I took the exam on the 19th of September (so after you did) and my scores were bounded by 800 (V 740-800 and Q 730-800 blechhhhh). Maybe some exams are more experimental! It's possible that some students got an exam that ETS was more 'sure' of and others got material that was far more 'experimental'.

Um, I should stop trying to crack the GRE scores! Endlessly poring over the same info probably won't help me....hahaha!
